The fascinating, ironic, and fanciful strands that Doctorow pulls from history and imagination are both humorous and horrific. Hearing the story in the author's own voice is the best way to read this book. Highly recommended.
This will appeal to listeners who appreciate a cerebral listen, masterfully constructed by one of the great American authors. ["Doctorow deftly captures the complex but beautiful vagaries of life in clean, simple language," read the starred review of the Random hc, LJ 10/15/13.]
Through this dialectic narrative, Doctorow connects to the common theme seen throughout his work: one's history is often a battle between memory and self-struggle to maintain an image of morality and adequacy. Doctorow deftly captures the complex but beautiful vagaries of life in clean, simple language. [See Prepub Alert, 6/24/13.]
A wonderful compendium, even for those who have read Doctorow exhaustively, because the organization is so illuminating. [See Prepub Alert, LJ 10/1/10.]
