A review by krwilson
Telescope by Allan Weiss

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.
