Title: "Is it normal to notice the enormity of everything and just go blank?"
Review: Richard lives at the top of the canyon wall, "the top of the food chain.". Then there is a pain, IT. But the doctors find nothing. His psychological internist decides he has an occurrence of coming back to life after numbness and advises him to get on with it. Richard who did not leave the house for a month, goes out.Although Richard is the main character, he is the one I liked the least. But he does serve as a central character that gathers together a cross section of LA. The characters range from the movie star, the crying housewife, and a famous recluse author. Oh, and his son.The book is eminently readable, warily funny, and deeply cynical.
