Title: The new Jay McInerney???
Review: As a writer myself I almost hate to admit it, but this is a dman good novel. It's been classified as a crime novel, but its not really. It's more of a coming-of-age novel about three longtime friends, all of whom have their lives thrown into crisis when one of them is being sent up the river on a seven-year bit. The writing is sharp and thoughtful. The book has the feeling of catching a time and place so well that it may be remembered as a small classic.I see that David Benioff is being promoted in the same manner Jay McInerny was a couple decades back: pretty boy author catches the zeitgeist. Movie offers, etc. Benioff has real talent (maybe McInerney did too once upon a moon). I'm hoping Benioff has more dedication to his craft than McInerney did and that he doesn't get sucked up by the Hollywood machine. He could be a real interesting novelist worth keeping an eye on.
