“Flair and authenticity”: review of The Maze
Wow. What a great review of The Maze, A Thomas Pichon Novel,in the Nova Scotian (Chronicle Herald) June 14. Just one week after a previous article in the Herald about the book’s inventive launch in Halifax (June 7), Paul W. Bennett finds The Maze to be “full of literary surprises” with descriptions that “sing with flair and authenticity.”
The Maze, A Thomas Pichon Novel, is the second of a possible suite of novels fictionalizing the life of Thomas Pichon (1700-1781). In the words of Paul Bennett, Pichon’s life “provides fascinating material that is the stuff of great literature.” Bennett gets the space to address the first novel, Thomas, A Secret Life, as well.
The Maze review continues: “Truly talented writers challenge themselves to break out of literary boundaries and to master other genres. When … the recognized expert on colonial Louisbourg branches out, it’s worth paying attention.”
