Title: The Accursed
Author: Joyce Carol Oates
Pub Date: 2013
Genre: Historical Fiction
I tried over several sittings, but I just couldn't get into this one. I don't know that much about Woodrow Wilson -- I basically liked him because he seemed like a bookish sort of guy and he was president during my favorite (if one can use that term) war. But I find him exceedingly irritating in this work. Combine that with the fact that the book does not seem to be getting off the ground at all, and I really don't feel like committing to the 667 pages. I may return to it at some point in the future, but for now I've got too many other things I'm looking forward to.
