Passionate Spectator

Summary: Read This Book
Review: I don't feel that I need to write a real review, seeing as how there are already tons of rave reviews for Eric Kraft's work. I guess all I can say is read this book. If you don't buy it, check it out from the library. Or buy it for a friend as a present, and then borrow it from them (hehe). It is simply amazing.

Summary: "we order our affairs according to our illusions"
Review: It's difficult to describe the pleasures I gain from the work of Eric Kraft. Through his character Peter Leroy, a charming romantic whose daydreams allow him to rewrite not only his past but his present and future as well, Kraft explores the slippery (if not entirely illusory) boundaries between yesterday and today, between reality and imagination, between ourselves and the strangers around us. All of this is accomplished with a delightfully graceful style and an admirable generosity toward his characters and his readers. I can imagine nothing more fulfilling than to live in the world of an Eric Kraft novel, and I am grateful that each new book (and Passionate Spectator is one of his best) allows me this opportunity.
