A strange and exquisite trip
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 25 years ago
Svorecky's book Headed for the Blues is an excellent, mainly stream-of-conciousness narrative dealing with his experiences as a young boy and man in his homeland. Woven in with this story of a Communist land is a philosophy on life and writing. An excellent book. One of my favorites. And believe me this review does NOT do it justice. I just figured a book as good as this ought to at least have one review here.
