Once upon a time, I considered Rick Moody to be one of my favorite contemporary authors. It was all because of his first collection of short stories, The Ring of Brightest Angels Around Heaven , where his prose left me breathless and inspired. That collection, as well as his handful of early novels that were all about people just trying to DEAL with life's chaos, seemed to be paving a brilliant path for this writer.Demonology , I think, Moody's writing just sort of lost something, some vital electrical current that had made his earlier words jump off the page like live wires. It was as if he had disconnected from the reality where his best characters lived, and instead retired to a faraway world where no one would interrupt his tangential thoughts as he traced the outlines of characters' shadows. I should have stopped reading him after The Black Veil , which may be the worst book I've ever forced myself to read all the way through (and I did, dutifully, page by awful page, because I believed in Rick Moody's writing prowess that much). If not then, I should have stopped reading after The Diviners , not quite as horrid as Black Veil's attempt at memoir but still pretty damn unreadable.Right Livelihoods , is not actually as awful as the previous two. Moody seems to have regained some clue about character development, at least, and has returned to his familiar territory of lost people in a lost world. There is an aging, delusional public official on a quixotic quest to rid his upscale community of terrorism; a lonely office worker bent on eradicating conspiracy in her midst; and a shell-shocked writer trying to navigate the drug-crazed landscape of post-apocalyptic New York City.
