This is also about coming to grips with 60s and Vietnam as one approaches getting older. This one also throws in the Red Brigade and the Holocaust. Nothing if not nervy. This books is definitely more interested in the male characters. The females are male fantasies. But this was an interesting read. Finished on a road trip. (  ) idiotgirl | Oct 2, 2009 | poetic and beautiful writing; intriguing cast of characters; and an amazing plot. i skipped the last few chapters but overall this book was wonderful!
