Canaan's Tongue Reviewreviews of this book in the NY Times and other periodicals may give one the impression that this is an historical novel about the slave trade on the mississippi river, circa civil war. the primary focus of this book , however, is on the often violent relationships among the sociopathic members of the slave trading gang portrayed in the book. furthermore, the tone of the book is quite surrealistic and some elements of the story are bizarre and fantastical.
other reviewers have commented that this is a hard read, and it is. the prose has been aptly described as "gothic". the author, mr. wray, doesn't seem to elaborate the plot very directly, he rather refers to it an oblique sort of way. as a result, readers may be left confused and frustrated.
on the plus side, this book was obviously a labor of love. the prose is exceedingly elegant and poetic; the book seems well researched, and the author is quite clever with some of the literary devices he employs. one also does pick up some history along the way, and the book drips with the ambience of the times. Ultimately, despite it's shortcomings, i found myself drawn to this book: though frustrating, it was hard to put down.
