Helpful Score: 1
I absolutely adored this book - the oddball Yiddish/Alaskan flavor of it, the fatalistic pride of the protagonist, the bizzarro mystery. The characters are complex and profoundly human, with complicated and believable histories, and idosyncratic responses to situations. The subliminal constant pressure of a society on the brink of panic keeps the tension high throughout, but the bear-like plodding of the central character makes it feel homey, too. I highly recommend it.
