"this way, ethnicity was very much like grace, and very much unlike most other American things: it existed apart from the notion, the mere appearance, of merit. You could belong without a fee."
"the kind of thin I’d always hoped to be: his body never got in the way of his clothes."

Really beautiful writing about nothing terribly interesting.
Felt like literary edging, he is such a beautiful, descriptive writer that it felt like paragraphs were building up to something but alas, would just turn to beautifully describing something else to no end. Made me excited for his next book, just on the quality of his writing alone.

Beautiful descriptions and language, to the point where you get lost in them and it can be hard to keep track of plot details. Think that ‘wandering novel’ is a perfect description

A strong start but the books flails halfway through. Cunningham does cleverly describe people’s voices and manner of speech and manages to make the arc of the campaign suspenseful even though you know exactly what will happen. But the parts that are not focused on the campaign and instead on the main character’s (aka Cunningham’s) own life are drifting and aimless.
