Artful (NP)

[Becky Lindroos]

Not I -  but thank you for the recommendation -  it’s now on my wish list.   :-) 

And to whomever mentioned The Quincunx by Charles Palliser I’ll second (or third) it.  

Bekah/Becky 
back in California and on the list!   :-)

A brilliant deconstruction of the criminal justice system, and well worth the read, though I do think the book would have been stronger if he'd had an editor to work with (he self-published). Some of the tangents he goes off on start to cloy. Did the recommender say it was Pynchon-esque? There is a Whole Sick Crew-like group of roommates, but it seems to be more inspired by Junot Diaz, Cortazar, etc. - with a little Dostoyevsky thrown in, for good measure.
