A Canticle for Leibowitz (St. Leibowitz, #1)

Cover for A Canticle for Leibowitz (St. Leibowitz, #1)

Review:

Yes, sure this is a clas­sic, but it has aged hor­ri­bly. It's a paean to re­ac­tionary, con­ser­va­tive "thought", the sparse plot makes no sense, and it's so deeply in­vest­ed on catholi­cism it reeks of stale con­se­crat­ed wine.

The catholic equiv­a­lent of a rap­ture book.

Would not rec­om­mend if it were the nex­t-­to-last book left in a post-apoc­alip­tic waste­land.

PS: the au­thor some­how seems to feel say­ing some­thing in latin makes it deep and true.
