Review: Be Mine by Laura Kasischke

Today in January Magazine’s fiction section, contributing editor Tony Buchsbaum reviews Be Mine, Laura Kasischke’s fourth novel for adults. (She’s also written half a dozen books of poetry and a novel for young adults.)

Though Buchsbaum feels the novel starts out strongly enough, in the last third, he reports, things begin to fall apart.
Fiction, while by design a lie, shouldn’t feel like one, but Be Mine does. It feels as if a horrible joke has been played on you, stimulated simply by your turning the pages.
Buchsbaum’s review of Be Mine is here

Cool reviews. Do you actually read each book fully before reviewing or just skim read like me!?
