"As a study of self-absorption, ECLIPSE is psychologically acute, yet the narrator's inability to look beyond himself quickly becomes wearying. But Banville's prose is lovely, elegant without ever sliding into ostentation, and the pleasures it affords ultimately outweigh the novel's inherent difficulties (which are perhaps unavoidable, given the tale its author has chosen to tell)....[ECLIPSE] is odd, inward, circular and talky. It is also oddly rewarding, and finally its rewards outweigh its shortcomings."Banville, John is the author of 'Eclipse' with ISBN 9780375725296 and ISBN 0375725296.
