Book summaryHarlen Kessler is growing up in suburban Long Island in the 1980s. This episodic novel chronicles his coming of age, in a pastiche of forms that include a short play, a series of quotations, and many brief vignettes. Media reviews"Formal innovations are the most interesting features of this rangy first novel....One finishes L.I.E. both frustrated by its vagueness and, paradoxically, confident that its talented author is capable of better work." |
