A GREAT read
I havn't read it since it's first publication, but Misplaced Persons remains vividly in my recollection. A young man finds his link with the physical world around him disappearing, and he must figure out a way to survive. This short novel truly provokes a "sense of wonder". If you can find it, get it.
Displaced or Misplaced?
This book is also named "Displaced Person" and I, a 15 year old student read it in less than one hour. A short story? Just about. It almost seems as though the author has written a short story, been told how excellent it is, and prompted to write it into a novel! Misplaced Persons is a 'different' read, the author taking on an unusual approach to character development and overall narrative. The tension is set from the beginning, and does not stop until the very end...each little 'climax' adding more and more...enough to drive you insane! Although Misplaced Persons has been given many awards, I would not reccomend it for a good read by the fireplace. It is a book to read while in bed....and wanting to get to sleep in a hurry.
