Vollmann Reviews Conover

[rich]

this is rich coming from Vollmann:

As is usually the case with such assemblages, “The Routes of Man” is uneven

chapter, which retails Conover’s longish drive with the Beijing Target Auto
Club, is nearly as tedious to read as it must have been for him to
experience
