Title: Lost Hope
Review: This novel was gripping enough to get me painlessly through two days of waiting to serve jury duty. It occupies a place somewhere between literary and genre fiction. The writing is stronger than formulaic and the elegaic tone seems to match too well these pre-apocalyptic times. I grew up in San Diego in the 60s and early 70s. The main character, Fahey, seems like a stand-in for all our lost hopes as we careen toward enrivonmental jihad. Fahey may find some kind of redemption at the end. But I wonder if there's any left for the rest of us.
