OLDER FICTION
Kraus, Daniel

The Death and Life of Zebulon Finch, Volume Two: Empire Decayed

(4) YA Zebulon Finch, killed and mysteriously resurrected in 1896, remains perpetually seventeen years old as he continues his misadventures through history in this dense, weird, and gory novel. Zebulon here experiences WWII Berlin, the atomic bomb, 1950s American suburbs, space travel, protest movements, a cannibalistic cult, and more. Despite Kraus's elegant prose and ambitious span, this hefty concluding volume is more exhausting than exhilarating.
