Title: Must-Read Debut of the Fall Season
Review: Olsson has written a witty, sophisticated novel that promises to entertain native Austinites as well as readers outside the boundaries of Texas' familiar capital. Beyond delving into the political nuances of state politics, Olsson possesses a sharp eye for affairs of the human heart. Her scenes and dialogue between her characters resonate with truth, and often with smirks and laughter... whether it's between Nick Lasseter, the half-hearted, left-leaning journalist, and his inebriated Uncle Bones, a washed-up lobbyist... or a brief exchange between assemblywoman Beverly Flintic and a grocery store cashier. Also, it's not any debut novelist who can seamlessly shift between characters' points of view as well as moments in time. Olsson makes something seem easy, which isn't easy at all. Enjoy!
