Overall, after sixty-one pages of reading, I would not dissuade the eager, nor would I attempt to convert the skeptical. I am closer to the latter group, as the main theme, described by Sam Tanenhaus as “the false idolatry of the digital age,” is too close to my daily life to interest me further; it’s Raskolnikov, Captain Ahab, and Colonel Kurtz for me. It is Beauty is a Wound , by Eka Kurniawan from Indonesia, that I am waiting for: “ There is much dying in the novel .”
