A review by ericfheiman
Stone Arabia by Dana Spiotta

4.0

I read this novel on a single cross-country plane trip and it's haunted me ever since. Spiotta has a knack (as she did in Eat the Document) for combining borderline outrageous plotting with sharply realized characters that could be living next door. I found myself frequently muttering under my breath, "I always say/think/do that" as I read. That's a good sign a writer has done her work well. Highly recommended.
