Yet the book isn't difficult. The prose, scenes, and references are readily intelligble; the two or three times syntax goes out the window the intent is clear, and only a word or two had me reaching for a dictionary. The real world isn't abandoned in the narration, either; we see scenes of Petersburg in its early years and ice forming in the Arctic.
I'd strongly advise anyone who gets the book to read it at one go after having read the afterword and to expect to spend far longer reading it than suggested by its 55 pages. Though I'm normally a fast reader, the latter wasn't difficult for me: it wasn't simply that I didn't want to miss any of the connections but that I wanted to absorb every last bit of the novel. It was a powerful work as well; for a while after finishing Vitus Bering I read only non-fiction because it had made the conventions of traditional fiction seem irksome and off-putting. ( )
