Book Reviews of Lenny Bruce Is Dead: A Novel
Book Review: Read it- why not?
Summary: 5 Stars
Okay, if you're looking at this book you probably know Jonathan Goldstein from This American Life.
The important thing to know about this book is it's not a straightforward narrative. It's a novel in fractallized pieces.
That said, the pieces themselves are often funny, and sometimes very sad.
The book isn't for everybody, but it's not for nobody.
Just read it. You can get through it in an hour or so, so even if it's not your favorite it's not like plowing through Ulysses.
Summary of Lenny Bruce Is Dead: A Novel
This startlingly original debut from "This American Life" contributor Goldstein is a snapshot of the mind of Josh, a rather confused young man who must cope with his father's listlessness and his own overwhelming lust.Literary Books
