I love the old man, and the parrot in this book! I found the first half more interesting, and when the old man is questioning the suspects, it’s gold!
The use of language, Chabon’s style of writing is dually a literary masterpiece and an arduous navigation of complex words and run-on sentences.
The descriptions given, however, are detailed, realistic and imaginative. The wit sprinkled throughout is an appreciated and needed additive to the storyline.
Chabon has done a great job with his research for this book, in his depiction setting the scene and of the characters’ behaviours, traits, nuances and faux pas. I would never have known he is American, he delivers a convincing British author’s story!
