A self-titled fable, the book is just that. This eclectic fiction visits realms both old and new, at the same time injecting an actuality that gives a definite sense of wonder and interest.
The plot is complex and hard to follow at times (I am on my second read-thru), but it reads as effortlessy as one of Milnestein's Storytellers might go through a pack of Marlboro Reds.
As an enthusiast of secular mythology and a seminary graduate, it is enjoyable to read a provocative and imaginative tale that innovates on existing mythos and originates new ones.
Overall, I recommend the book highly.
