Beatrice and Virgil

Beatrice and VirgilBeatrice and Virgil by Yann Martel

My rating: 4 of 5 stars


An atmospheric fable about the holocaust. While it can be criticized as thinly veiled autobiographical authorial navel-gazing, I felt the writing of the fable, the feeling of the story well outweighed the meta meta-ness of it all.
