I didn’t really enjoy this book. The language was interesting and having the current political situation play a part added a dimension,but didn’t make up for the characters. The female narrator did not ring true to me, though perhaps her identity as a Manhattan socialite was just too foreign for me.
The fact that it is pretty much love at first sight between hard boiled detective and client seemed more than a bit unbelievable. Perhaps she is touched by his rescue of animals and people, but why does he fall for her?
The desert people are interesting and, the deserted festival atmospheric, but didn’t make up for the irritation I felt at the main character.
Maybe that was intentional

Sort of a cross between Sam spade , detective searching for partners killer, and The Godfather, family allegiances mired in crime. The mysterious femme fatale, the evil corporation , the worry about who can be trusted, all the usual noir type scenarios, with the interesting addition of the protagonist having to deal with his Tourettic impulses on top of everything else.

I was somewhat disappointed with this post apocalyptic book on a super at and some writers and farmers…while there were spots here and there of Lethems love of wordplay…. The story just felt lacking,in so,e way…perhaps it was intended to make you feel like the townspeople of the story…trapped…longing for a glimpse of the outside world, the future,,, something…but …if so,,,,it worked a little too well…
I truly e joyed motherless Brooklyn, so perhaps my hopes were too high for this one.… (mais)
