"...Gutenberg represents the pragmatic modern man of science and industry who will inspire a future about which even he is a little dubious. There are also distinctly contemporary passages in which Gutenberg draws back from his dictation to reflect on the nature of narrative and the trustworthiness of narrators. While it may sound a little like the work of a feverish English major, all this thematic interweaving is nonetheless ingenious and ambitious. And somehow, even though the novel is so heavily freighted with symbolism that it is difficult to warm to him, this Gutenberg still sometimes manages to seem real.Morrison, Blake is the author of 'Justification of Johann Gutenberg' with ISBN 9780060935719 and ISBN 0060935715.
