The Feral Detective by Jonathan Lethem
3.0
I loved the first third of this book. Maybe it was just because I read it while on a plane departing our life in California, at least for a while, and the first third so well evoked California and the West.
The rest of it was... good and enjoyable but not nearly as compelling as how it started--at least for me.
And the attempts to tie this story in to the current debacle of American governance seemed forced. But luckily they're not really critical to the story.
I've been meaning to read Lethem for a while but actually picked this up on a whim in the airport bookstore. I'm glad I did.
