BOOK REVIEW: FICTION / ‘The Emperor of Gladness’: On living only once
2 hour(s) ago
Books & Literature
I didn’t want to finish reading The Emperor of Gladness. This feeling invariably revisits me when I deeply enjoy reading a book, becoming completely attached to the characters through a surrender to the ‘willful suspension of disbelief’. This novel deals with the expansive forms of love, loss, belonging and the impulses that shape the fragile lives of people left at the edges of America.
