Title: An Absolute Master
Product review: This book is not exactly what one would expect from an author resting on his laurels. Several hundred pages are necessarily devoted to developing characters that are simply hilarious. The plot is complex. Wolfe baits the reader, suggesting that some great irony or insight will be the reward for patiently reading the first 600 pages. In the end, the promise is fulfilled. Perhaps Wolfe was in a literary "zone?" This book is like a car from the late 1950s. It is big and powerful.
