This is a novel by David Rakoff, written in verse. It is very unusual but easy to read. Each chapter deals with a different character, living in a different place in a different time but all are linked. Some of it is witty, some very sad. This was his fourth novel. He was a regular contributor to Public Radio’s This American Life and his writing appeared in the New York Times, Newsweek, Wired, Salon, GQ, Gourmet, Vogue so I have no idea why I never heard of him. He died in 2012.
