What a great, big, wooly novel, full of great plot turns and fabulous character detail. I learned about cooking, football, tennis and dance. Not bad for one book. Roorbach is a genius.
This is a wonderfully written, intricately plotted novel with very fresh characters–from the narrator, a very tall pro football player-turned restaurant owner, to his bipolar sister and pop-philospher husband, to a pair of ballerinas. Sure, there are some far-fetched plot elements, but we know from the beginning that the story is larger than life, and I was happy to go with it. A very rewarding read.
