A review by jrug
Gloriana by Kevin Huizenga
4.0
This volume was very up and down for me, but I'm going to blame myself, rather than the author. This is especially true of "The Sunset", in which the protagonist describes seeing a sunset from his desk - I can see something that others will probably find interesting is happening, but it doesn't interest me.
I loved "The Groceries", though, with its mundane conversation punctuated by imagined futures. Glenn Ganges beating to death competing hypotheses on optical illusions and the moon in "The Moon Rose" was perfect; I was intrigued by the way Huizenga presented ideas while simultaneously getting across the awkwardness of the whole thing. Plus, I too am the kind of person who would freak out his neighbors with science.
