The Word Exchange: A Novel

The Word Exchange by Alena Graedon is set in a future New York City and is a book about language, interpersonal communication, and about technology's effect on our communication patterns. It is an appealing premise, but the book falls short of its promise. The stream of consciousness narration, the needlessly difficult word choices, and the extensive, substantive footnotes make the book really difficult to read.
