Rarely have I read a book so bleak and yet so funny at the same time. Much of this comes from the charisma of the narrator's voice. It is the voice of a mother's exasperation over her children and their foibles, which to a certain degree can be blamed on the limitations imposed by the social circumstances around them. I found her voice to be excellent company, even if she doesn't take much pleasure in the company of the other characters in the novel. I read a review of her new book of short stories in the Nation, which I have not read, but if you want to find out more about the author, that's a good piece to look up. If you're a writer annoyed by the world around you and its demands on time you'd rather spend writing, you might enjoy this book. (The narrator is a poet.)
