Title: A Rollicking Romp 'round Boston
Review: I thoroughly enjoyed this new book by David Lentz, which shows a mastery in having fun with characters placed in a locale well known to the author. There's no absence of local color here as his protagonists prance from Beacon Hill to the market place at Faneuil Hall, stopping unceasingly at historic watering holes along the way. His main picaresque character alternates between Irish charm and disgusting, disillusioning existence.But Lentz, amidst the revelry in a good story, manages to ask some poignant questions about love and friendship,family, profession, and historic burdens in this Boston of the 21st century with its ever-present 17th, 18th and 19th century overhang.If you've ever been to Boston or even if you haven't you'll enjoy this romp.
