Tükeniş - Örümcek Kraliçe'nin Savaş Serisi - 4 - Lisa Smedman
Whoever the marketing guy was behind Erik Larson's "The Devil in the White City: Murder, Magic, and Madness at the Fair that Changed America," he was a genius. Because honestly, I don't really want to read a 447 page history of the Chicago World's Fair--and I'm guessing, neither do you. But, if you were hoodwinked into believing (as I was) that Larson's opus was an inspired bit of comparison between the architect of the 1893 World's Fair and a diabolically brilliant psychopath and kept reading because you were waiting for the numerous opportunities Larson had to make this happen and then realized somewhere about two-thirds of the way through that he had perhaps added the bit about the serial killer because he realized that no one would probably read the book if it didn't have some sort of hook and then you noticed that Larson sort of pulled it off anyway and (just bear with me one more moment here) you realized years later that the passages you most remember in the book were these tremendously well crafted passages about the World's Fair itself juxtaposed with a noirish filth ridden Chicago, you might, like I did tonight, come to forgive the misrepresentation and accept the book as a rather brilliant historical narrative. So, thanks guy who wrote the jacket copy for Larson because you totally made me read the book and just like I lie to my son and tell him that spinach is pesto because he'll eat pesto, you lied to me and I was the better for it. As for you Tom Standage, or whoever allowed you to waste as brilliant an idea as this, fuck you, and I think you need to take the excellent idea that could have been this book and put it back in the pool because you straight messed it up. Seriously, I want a full rewrite with a different author because I don't know how you take so tremendously focused an idea as tracing world civilization through its dominant beverages (beverages mind you that I have a close and deeply personal relationship with) and turn it into the kind of prose that I'm more familiar with from middle school history textbooks. You offered me a nicely aged single malt but what I got was a half pint of Borden chocolate milk with the seam that smells like the lunch lady. That said--for keeping it brief and managing to remind me how good historical nonfiction can be when written by other authors--I applaud you. (1.5/5)
