I love this book!. I really adore the writing --and this is from someone who can't make it past the first few pages of almost any novel I pick up. The sentence rhythms are to die for, the characters poignant, and the combination of humor and affection in the description of American life, on a wonderfully granular level, is unique and precious. The book is a paean to the malls of the 1970 that is also a love story, a social critique, a coming-to-power tale, and a metaphysical adventure in palmistry. I love the way Shea makes a mall a major character in the book! The book is at once personal and local, and deeply visionary on a large scale--there's a fairytale quality to it, really--an archetypal edge.
