![]() ![]() Tyler, our narrator, acts as the link between the Science Fiction tale (Jason Lawton) and the literary tale (Diane Lawton). Life takes each of the three in drastically different, but often intertwined, directions. ![]() The first is a touching coming-of-age tale as Tyler Dupree grows to adulthood with best friends Diane and Jason Lawton. Spin essentially consists of two stories wrapped in one. Much of the buzz surrounding Wilson’s novel came from his ambitious attempt at mixing hard SF (Earth is entrapped within a time altering membrane of mysterious origins) and the classic literary tale of three friends growing into adulthood. The question, however, is whether it could possibly live up to that sort of acclaim. Therefore, it was with rather strong trepidation and eagerness that I picked up Spin by Robert Charles Wilson, a novel with a bucket load of hype. When it beats out what is possibly my favourite novel I’ve read this year ( John Scalzi’s Old Man’s War) it raises the bar even higher. ![]() It’s also a coming-of-age tale, a love story, a literary triumph, and an ecological and apocalyptic warning.īig words from Bookmarks Magazine were enough to get me excited. ![]()
