    Latest review for DIVERTING THE BUDDHA (The Skewering of Democracy)


    "DIVERTING THE BUDDHA is an ambitious novel that delivers through a vivid portrayal of the treachery and deceit that emerged during the catastrophic Vietnam War. Bob Swartzel wastes little time in immersing his readers in a chaotic world where poor innocent people are caught between a corrupt Vietnamese leadership, as well as the self-interest of a few profiteers and an American foreign policy gone amok. Among the many achievements of this novel is Swartzel’s ability to provide his readers with a realistic sense of the historical setting the characters inhabit. It also vividly captures the chaotic theater of war where we witness a gritty epoch of guns, politics, treachery and economic self-interest.


    No doubt there are many novels pertaining to the Vietnam War, however, this one stands out as an unforgettable tale at its most emotional and painful with its multiple perspectives pertaining to the politics and history recounted in human terms.

    Gotta love those creaky floors ... unless the creaking begins to drive you mad, that is. but that's never happened, oh no, no, no.

    Wow, the Brookline Booksmith. WAAAAY back in the day I spent every dollar I earned in either the Booksmith or the Musicsmith. Seriously, it was to the point where the guys that worked in the music section used to leave me notes on the record dividers.
    I wonder whatever became of Kurt and Dave anyway???

    I've actually been in your book store. That was long after I was adrift on that ice pan. Browsing books is a very different matter.


    Best wishes on your birthday.
