"From the award-winning author of Bubblegum and The Instructions, a daring new novel about the absurdity, the humor, and the tragedy of survivorship. A one-in-ten-billion natural disaster devastates Chicago. A Jewish comedian, his most devoted fan, and the city's mayor must struggle to move forward while the world-quite literally-caves beneath their feet. With this polyphonic tale of Chicago-style politics and political correctness, stand-up comedy and Jewish identity, celebrity, drugs, and animal psychology, Levin has constructed a monument to laughter, love, art, and resilience in an age of spectacular loss"-- Keine Bibliotheksbeschreibungen gefunden. |

Throughout the story, the author uses the opportunity to riff on what interests him in a way that is clever, but which I also found to be offensive and not at all funny. Levin reminds me a bit of the late works of Philip Roth - yeah, you can’t deny his brilliance, but you could do without the scatology, crudeness, and what I took to be a self-hating sort of antisemitism.
