I have a new review posted on Nudge – of The Middlesteins, by Jami Attenberg. I read the book because Attenberg was coming to town for a book reading that I ended up not being able to attend. I struggled with the book. A lot. But I also keep thinking about it so clearly there was something good about it!
“And there he was, in a suit (it was his only one, but she didn’t know that yet), and he was smiling (his happiest days were behind him the minute he met her, but he didn’t know that yet)…”
As soon as I read that line in The Middlesteins by Jami Attenberg, I kept returning to it. It’s such a smartly said scathing comment. And really, it summarizes so much of what happens in the novel.
