GalleyCat reviews Android Karenina

Fiction / June 09, 2010

...When I began reading Ben H. Winters' mash-up novel, Android Karenina, my hopes were not high for a quick, light or funny read. Oddly enough, it was all three. Mash-ups are the latest thing in the literary world, mixing classics with new world monsters and demons. It's not really all that new; the music world has been doing it for ages. Mad Magazine used to rewrite the comics--Al Capp writing Brenda Starr, for instance.

Winters, a playwright, librettist, and author of Sense and Sensibility and Sea Monsters, connects all of Tolstoy's dots in the cleverly bizarre world he has created and he transforms a Russian novel into a reasonably demented work of science fiction...
