Synopses & Reviews

Review:

"Exley's third novel, the last in the trilogy that includes A Fan's Notes and Pages from a Cold Island, follows Exley the narrator as he travels to Hawaii to visit his dying brother. Along the way we hear an anxious, paranoid Exley—sometimes addressing Matt Dillon, sometimes his female psychiatrist, sometimes us—deliver a blistering and often hilarious critique of the characters and situations that cross his path. As usual, though, Exley's main subject, and the butt of his most unrelenting criticism, is himself, his past, his capacity for meanness and self-deception. Never has Exley been more bitter or, paradoxically, more hopeful. And never has he been better." Reviewed by Daniel Weiss, Virginia Quarterly Review (Copyright 2006 Virginia Quarterly Review)
