Tomorrow's Children

i like Polansky a lot anyway, and i really enjoyed this this one, but all his books are well-written, each very different from every other, and he loves to play with his prose style. in this one he plays happily quite a lot, and that lighthearted joy of writing communicates itself really well to set a light tone at one remove from the characters and the plot. here the island of Manhattan has been cut off from the rest of the world for seven generations when the CIA finally arrives to clandestinely reclaim it from a post-apocalyptic setting by now well established.

Lovely strange

It takes a really good author to straddle the line between such and comprehensibility and the desire to know more. And most impressive of all, to leave the reader satisfied. Daniel Polansky remains one of my favorite authors.

And I still can't stop laughing at 'snunk'
