In THE OPEN CURTAIN Brian Evenson brings the contradictions and barbarities of blood atonement to the surface as a conscious act of criticism of Mormonism and its history.
18 Settembre 2014One Star
Not a believable story.
5 Ottobre 20104 1/2 stars
As a \"descent into madness\" thriller, The Open Curtain stands out.
5 Settembre 2010An unsettling and masterful look at religion, violence, and madness
It's no surprise to read in the afterword to The Open Curtain that Evenson wrote it as he was leaving the Mormon church; the book is a fairly brutal indictment of the church's relationship with violence, dealing with a long-rumored Mormon sacrament involving the murder of unholy individuals as a means of redemption.
27 Novembre 2008Unusual and disquieting
Brian Evenson's The Open Curtain is an unusual and disquieting book.
4 Settembre 2007Have read better
I probably would have rated this book higher had I not just read an excellent thriller with an even more compelling account of a character's descent into madness.
13 Agosto 2007Haunting, possibly cleansing, certainly a breakthrough.
Evenson's latest novel was given me as a review assignment for a print venue, and I find I must also praise the book here.
7 Giugno 2007Compelling portrait of madness
This book made me feel that madness was lurking just on the edge of my life, ready to lunge forward and bite me, or someone I know, with its sharp teeth.
15 Aprile 2007Unique Read... thought-provoking
One thing that was enjoyable was the tongue-in-cheek humor in the story.
18 Gennaio 2007Compelling Thriller
Evenson takes us deep into the increasingly demented mind of young Rudd and into the inner workings of the Mormon Church.
