Review: Miss Subways

Miss Subways by David Duchovny
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Miss Subways is an interesting piece of fiction, but definitely not for those who want to stay grounded in reality while enjoying it. The tale is loosely based on a Yeats play that I've never heard of, but this story incorporates ancient mythical characters that have the ability manipulate the realities of the characters within the book.

What I like most about this novel is that it has plenty of wit. It doesn't talk down to the audience, though if you are familiar with literary fiction in general, it conforms to that style, such as including obscure references to things that readers may or may not be aware of--but that's just par for the course in literary fiction. Overall it's a fun read and can keep most readers entertained until the end.
