This book took me by far the longest to read in my Zuckerman quest. I skipped American Pastoral and I Married a Communist because I've read those books in the past (before I started the Book Track project), but as I recall, those two books also fit into the same category of The Human Stain.
The three are not like the others in the nine-book series, in that Zuckerman's character plays a much less significant role. In these books he is a background character, telling the life story of someone else. They are also much denser (more pages but also more difficult to read) then the other books.
This isn't much of a review, but I'm not quite ready to put down all my Zuckerman thoughts.
