Review title: The least interesting piece of fiction of the decade.....
Product review: I gave up after 200 pages. No character registered, the "narrative" (I use heavy quotes here) was non-existent, the dialogue banal, and the point beyond elusive. Fiction, while it should be incisive, must also be entertaining. This is neither. Alternately dull, frustrating, pretentious, inconsequential, and infuriating. Some have compared it to Wolfe; DO NOT believe them.
