by Rudolph Delson
A novel told from the perspectives of more than thirty narrators, including a macaw and an emergency brake, could easily get a little precious, but Delson pulls it off—what begins as a series of tangentially related vignettes comes together into a fairly cohesive account of the relationship between Maynard, an eccentric independent filmmaker and native New Yorker, and Jennica, an industrious California transplant. 9/11 serves as a catalyst in their relationship but doesn’t overwhelm it. A funny and fast-paced debut novel. --Katy S.
