A Boring Pretentious Book
I cannot believe this was so highly reviewed. It is not really a noir novel it's really a (trite) essay on various dualities -- alone vs not alone, good vs bad, who's knowable or not. Dialogue explorations and internal musings on these topics are predictable and not provocative. The story itself -- not a surprise and anyway I didn't care about a single character.
