Flicker
(THEODORE ROSZAK)
About Flicker. It''s a
great read, with some wonderfully memorable characters and lots of interesting
detail about the film world in the United States in the 50s and 60s (not a
subject I know much about, but I imagine film buffs will enjoy it even more
than I did). The plot, however, is centered on a grand international conspiracy
and just doesn''t carry its weight. The problem isn''t so much that it strains
suspension of disbelief, though it does fit oddly with the realism of the rest
of the novel, but that it just isn''t interesting: Another
international conspiracy dating back to the Cathars and the Templars? Yawn.
I think Flicker would have been much better as a straight novel.
