I wish things had gone differently
I admit that it has been a long while since I read Gilgamesh, and so I may not be the best expert on the matter. Yet I have to say that GIL MARSH more confused than enlightened. The author followed the original story in its sparity of details, and I think that is where this modern-day story lost me. Gil and Enko's friendship seemed underdeveloped to warrant Gil's impromptu Canadian trip, and then his trip - inevitably doomed from the start - did not make much sense to me. I did not believe that Gil got as much out of that trip that he had desired - and I definitely did not get as much out of GIL MARSH that I had hoped for a retelling. If there had been more elaboration on characters and story, I think there would have been a clearer sense of where GIL MARSH wanted to be. by theEPICrat
