Christopher Paoloni - Fractal Noise
Paoloni and I are from different places. He is a “qualified marksman in the Australian army” - I have a conscience certified by the Dutch state. He will never be caught “writing anything that's ultimate nihilistic or defeatist.” You will catch me enjoying stories like that.
The dark tale it apparently was as a first draft, is still in there, but it has been edited, cheared up. Eternal love and hope is sprinkled over it, because literary diabetes is not to be feared.
He does write engaging prose however. The tension he builds up when isolation is pressing on the crew makes for a captivating read that had me thinking about Scott and Amundsen more than once. Nicely done.
Still in the end I think this book is first and foremost a missed opportunity.
