Lacuna
by
Barbara Kingsolver
Noreen
, January 01, 2011
Moving, often funny, and bittersweet, Kingsolver gives empathetic voice to a young man's witnessing of tumultuous political, social and artistic events, and his own attempts to reclaim the past. Sentences leave you breathless, that you read again and again - a second author echoes the first, her own contributions woven into his account; she fulfills her archival duty in bringing the truth to light. Kingsolver is in full command of a grand sweep of history, geography and memory.

Barnes always creates compelling characters and story, and has a pungent sense of irony, but this work enters new territory as both a revealing memoir and moving meditation on death and what constitutes the "spiritual," as well as what it is to be human.
