Negative Positive
Title: Pollitz's first novel a nice try, but not a great book.
Review: The book offers some interesting insights into the Wall Street of 1969/70, but the characters are dull, the plot lacking in twists or surprises, and the outcome dissatisfying. There is some gratuitous pornography, too. In every scene the characters are drinking alcohol, and a high percentage of them seem to be alcoholics. Skip this one.
