Sometimes I rolled my eyes at the fact that each Archie was so brilliant, and so confident in his writing-whether as a critic, journalist, or fiction writer, and despite his excessive protestations about his work-as to publish great works received rapturously in each of his primary lives. For example, early on I thought to myself: “Truly there is no giant book about baseball and the suburbs that an eminent male writer cannot get published.” This is ultimately a novel about a young man having an uncanny amount of artistic success at a very young age, in several different permutations, and this may be tough going for aspiring writers. Some of these are perhaps a function of my own attributes. I think I really like this novel, but I had a variety of uncharitable thoughts when I was reading it. ![]()
