A Modern Kind of Odd Bird Jonathan Livingst on Seagull
Review of Richard Bach's Jonathan Livingston Seagull from Turnstone Press London 93pp details the American pilot author’s allegorical tale. It highlights the bird’s quest for speed and perfection, his outsider status, and the spiritual uplift the fable offers amid critique of wooden dialogue and weak narrative. The piece notes strong photography by Rowell Munson and Bach’s imaginative use of flight experiments.
