Andrew Taylor. Caroline Minuscule (1982)


     Andrew Taylor. Caroline Minuscule (1982) A grad student discovers his tutor’s body, is approached by a mysterious stranger who wants him to translate a medieval manuscript, and what happens after that I just didn’t care to find out. The protagonist is an unpleasant dimwit, the author’s voice is pseudo-witty, and the plot wasn’t developing fast enough to overcome these flaws. I didn’t finish this one. (2004)
