Title: It's okay, but....
Review: ...Kennedy's love for the capitol of New York is more heartfelt in all of his great fiction than in this somewhat turgid history. When you stack it next to such books as IRONWEED, VERY OLD BONES and THE FLAMING CORSAGE, O ALBANY reads rather dry by comparison, something Kennedy at his best seldom is.
