For your reading pleasure, my review of S P R A W L by Danielle Dutton is now available on Englewood Review of Books. An excerpt:
Like the much-maligned sprawl of the suburbs, the novel incarnates the sprawl and its psychological effects on suburbanites. The isolation of McMansions on islands of manicured turf. The over-friendliness of women in groups followed by their gossipy disdain for one another in private a la Desperate Housewives. The psychological deprivation stemming from the suburbs bland malaise. The yawningly cliché affairs that arise from suburban boredom and apathy. Its all here in this square sized book that amounts to a novel formed out of one giant, 143 page long paragraph.
