Absolutely delightful! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 4.0 out of 5 stars 50 years on from reading The Owl Service *by I***E on Reviewed in the United States on October 16, 2022* Garner prefaces the book with a quote from the quantum physicist Carlo Rovelli on the mystery of time, and this short novel is just as bewildering. A boy meets a rag and bone man and they… well, it’s not altogether clear what they do. Adventures ensue, and the conventional world fades away.The spare writing can be wonderfully evocative and the plot meandering. It’s been over 50 years since I read The Owl Service as a boy not much older than the hero of this book, and I enjoyed revisiting Garner’s world again. But be warned- this is not a straightforward story, and the opacity of the plot can be frustrating. ### ⭐⭐⭐ 3.0 out of 5 stars Read this! Think little tiny new thoughts you’ve never thought before... *by B***B on Reviewed in the United States on November 19, 2023* “Treacle Walker” by Alan Garner - (3.5 Stars) (Pub Date:11/17/2023) was a myth, inside of a folktale, inside of a dream all in what I assume is British vernacular which rendered the story a little less accessible to me as an American reader.Good Things: The sparseness of language lent itself to the folktale/legend feel of the story. Because I struggled to follow the vernacular speech patterns of the characters, I felt even more like a guest in a legendary place. Finally, to avoid spoilers, I will say that the metaphor about ideas and stories is as good as the literal story itself.Opportunities: Not to mention a third time, but I need to mention a third time…the spoken text was almost impossible for me to follow along with. I read very quickly, and trying to translate the idioms and characters' verbal interaction not only slowed me down, it took me out of the story entirely. When I had to pause every 2-3 sentences or sections to figure out what the character was saying by context clues and verbal read-aloud phonetics, my mind would wander. This feels like one of those works of art that I recognize and appreciate as a work of art, but fully acknowledge that it’s not my personal favorite style of art.Final Thoughts: Read this because it’s new but feels ancient. Read this to experience the narrative language. Read this to think and feel new thoughts in creative ways. Read this because it’s short and punchy. Read this to find yourself thinking little tiny new thoughts you’ve never thought before.I appreciate the opportunity afforded me to have an early read of this story by netgalley and Scribner.
