Boulevard review in PRISM international

The Boulevard, Jerrod Edson, Novel

At some point all these glowing reviews of Jerrod Edson’s The Boulevard will reach critical mass and everyone will want a copy; but till then, why not beat the rush and order now? The latest review has just appeared in venerable PRISM international, written by novelist and poet Steven Mayoff.

Edson’s use of the classic frame narrative is what struck me most about the novel. I rarely see the ‘story within a story’ structure in today’s fiction and I find it adds depth to a story to have multiple narratives. Readers of landmark speculative fiction, such as Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein and Robert Louis Stevenson’s The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, will enjoy the complex plot and intertextuality of The Boulevard.
