Netherland by Joseph O'Neill
I imagine this book will be referred to as "That book about cricket" by some readers. Others will wax poetic about all the topics Mr. O'Neill touched on in the course of this ambitious work. I'm that person, but I'm short on time, so I'll list a few of the HUGE themes that I recall from my first reading of this novel:
-Marriage
-Communication
-Hopefulness
-Human connection
-Acceptance
-Male friendship
-Multiculturalism
-Parenting
-Wealth
-Depression
-Self-awareness (or lack thereof)
-New York
-London
-Terrorism
-Belonging
-Outsiders
-Love
-And many many more.
I admit that I started this work because I'd heard that President Obama had been reading it. I switched to listening to it as an audiobook, and I'm glad I did, since the actor Jefferson Mays did a brilliant job narrating this complex story. I feel like a need a stiff drink, but I'm glad to have experienced "Netherland."
