François Camoin's previous books include The End of The World is Los Angeles, which won the Associated Writing Program's award for fiction, and Why Men Are Afraid of Women, winner of the Flannery O'Connor award.
I read the book as soon as I got back from Vegas. Then I read it again. His four leading men were Jews stumbling through late middle age, New Yorkers who despise and love each other in about equal measure. They were, as a group, stunned before their own capacities for trouble—schmendricks who fail ecstatically. Most remarkable were Camoin's sentences, which bristled with the supple dynamism of Bellow, the jazzy patter of Elkin.
—Steve Almond, "Camoin Among the Savages," nextbook.org |
