Negative Positive
Title: A charming novel about the possibilities of change in life.
Review: Malamud has written an entertaining novel about the attempt by the "hero" Levin to begin life anew in Cascadia (Oregon) in the 1950's, an era it is hard to imagine interesting - but it is here! And the end creates its own questions about new beginnings, love, the meaning of life, and all sorts of serious subjects, without ever feeling weighed down by them.
