Telescope by Allan Weiss

krwilson's review

4.0

Allen Weiss’s Telescope is an evocative collection of linked stories about growing up Jewish in Montreal in the 60s and 70s. The details—CFCF TV, Yangtze’s restaurant, the October Crisis—create a wonderful sense of time and place, and his narrator’s naive paradings of his adolescent certainties are deliciously cringe-inducing.

An interesting set of stories with interesting characters, especially the main character Lawrence. I found perspectives mostly interesting. I also learned a bit about Montreal and how it was there in the 1960s.

I really appreciate the review copy in exchange for an honest review!!
