Keisling the Reviewer
By Aaron Menikoff June 1, 2006
Bruce reviewed Chris Seay’s Faith of My Fathers at the 9 Marks website. That’s cool. Notice the Keisling wit:
Donald Miller (author of Blue Like Jazz) writes in the forward that the “beauty” of the book lies in its “subtlety”. I disagree. Faith of My Fathers is subtle like a Texas rodeo is subtle. Sure, you could “read” into a rodeo the quest for human dominance over nature, but it’s really just a sporting event. So too, you could “read” into these conversations layers of meaning all throughout, but it’s really just a conversation with some nuggets of meaning that emerge here and there.
There’s more wit (and insight) to be found in his review, but I’ll leave it at that. Bruce, have you been to a rodeo?
