I missed this last book of Tropper ... I was warned: the same universe, the story of a crazy family, a hero overwhelmed by a host of conflicting feelings. I liked, I devoured. I love his style, his scenes of anthology, his digressions so right about the workings of the infernal mechanical what a family! I laughed, I cried. But here, it's always the same novel, admittedly not the best and that is always: Joe's book. I hope it will be renewed for if I am an unconditional, I'm afraid it gets J as: Irving has strength to tell me the same novel weary me.
