Title: A Lagging Indicator of the American Zeitgeist
Review: Burke Devore is the Willy Loman of the new economy -- with a few critical distinctions that reveal as much about our times as they do about the two protagonists. Where Willy aspires to be "well-liked," Burke just wants a damn job. Where Willy dresses up his son's accomplishments, Burke destroys evidence of his son's larceny. And where Willy's sense of failure leads him to kill himself, Burke's leads him to murder others.This book is chilly in its moral ambiguity. But -- offering further proof of our accelerating cultural cycle times -- the novel seems slightly, just slightly, out of date now that the economy has strengthened. An otherwise excellent piece of writing, The Ax misses the Zeitgeist bullseye by about fourteen months.
