The Divorce Papers

Rieger tells the story of a messy divorce through the e-mails, letters, and legal documents sent back and forth between clients and lawyers and their friends. It's a sad tale. And it's a funny tale. It's a good tale.

I found myself reading this novel very differently than I usually read a novel; it is more like reading someone's scrapbook of the Kennedy assassination, with a mix of stories about the characters involved, making them both respected celebrities and frail human beings. And all of that inferred from the writing about the event.
