"A bit of a rollicking tale, especially unexpected from Flaubert; it has the feeling of an epic poem, or a medieval romance. That's probably the best way to judge it: not dealing with deep characters (although Spendius is chilling); not interested in a perfectly coherent, driven plot (although there's plenty of action); but filled with asides, descriptions and repetitions. But it's also 'realistic', in the sense of packed with detail; this clashes in an interesting way with the characters' speeches to each other, which feel very mannered. I imagine this is much better studied than read breezily like I did.
But by far the weirdest thing was that it reminded me of 'Blood Meridian.' I wonder if there's anything to that."
"An orgy of sensory details and descriptive language elevate this novel of obsession and war. It is a better example of Flaubert's true style than 'Madame Bovary' even though the characters and story aren't as captivating."
"Someone said to me this is like B-Side Flaubert. I forget who, but that about sums up the book. It's the most entertaining book by Mr. G. He renders the bacchanalia and the battlefield with exquisite detail."
