The Best Place to Be: A Novel in Stories
reviewed on + 7 more book reviews


An interesting collection of stories about different ages throughout the author's life. Dormen has a very interesting way of interweaving narratives in a stream-of-consciousness prose style. While the prose is very carefully constructed, at times I was lost within the rambling voice and at other times this style kept me at arm's length from connecting emotionally with the material. Overall, worth a read, but for me not all that captivating.
