The Fugitives by Christopher Sorrentino

4.0

Suspecting sanctimonius satire, I had a hard time getting into this novel. It turned out to be pretty refreshing and quite funny, when it wasn't sad and mournful that is. The mystery part of it (man disappears from casino with bag full of cash, reporter sleuths) wasn't most intriguing part. The characters (oversexed, self-pitying author, oversexed, self-destructive reporter) and their self-scrutiny interested me the most. It's a peculiar novel and I wouldn't know who to recommend it to, but I'm glad I kept going.
