bgprincipessa 's review for:
The Love Affairs of Nathaniel P.
by Adelle Waldman
2.5 stars
One of those stories that is almost parody, but too realistic at the same time - it reminded me of Where'd You Go, Bernadette? in that way. For me, it almost makes me wonder if the author is always fully aware of the irony.
The main character in this is so insufferable - and he's supposed to be, and that's okay - but I had a hard time understanding why the other characters put up with his BS so much.
Also, cut it with the condescension re: Baltimore. (As I understand it, the author is from Baltimore, so .. really??!) That's just obnoxious. Everywhere doesn't need to be Brooklyn.
