JULY

DECLARE

By Tim Powers

When the wind moves over water, it may etch patterns that belie the stillness of the surface. Declare’s jinn are like that, present but not accountable until they are drawn forth. Tim Powers slowly reveals the oddities of the world as the reader follows Andrew Hale’s unusual life. Andrew’s indoctrination as a spy and war time activities are only steps on a journey that will lead him back to the slopes of Mount Ararat, time and again. Declare is a mixture of Graham Greene and Thomas Pynchon. The duplicitous world of the spy and the initiate believer in the impossible are carefully woven together. So weighing in at 590 pages, do you, the jury, feel that Declare serves its purpose and entertains or will you use this tome to level out your crooked tables or as a door stop?
