Just finished elegant, refined, autumnal
Netherland, by Joseph O'Neill, a novel of entrances and exits, and automobile-induced perambulatory flights around a city mourned by any who leave: New York.
Netherland is a literary beacon for both writer and reader, a slim book of perfect proportions, and, in the long shadow of The Great Gatsby,
"O'Neill runs faster, stretches out his arms farther and approaches the glow of greatness."
It's been on my "to read" list for a while. Glad to see you recommend it!
