Speedboat

by Renata Adler

New York Review of Books · 2013 · 192 pages

This novel, a mosaic of observations from a young journalist in 1970s New York, offers a disarmingly fragmented yet utterly captivating portrait of urban existence. Through a series of seemingly disconnected vignettes, the narrator grapples with the absurdities and anxieties of modern life, her wry, ambivalent voice guiding the reader through a landscape populated by everyone from partygoers to presidents. Readers who appreciate sharp, unconventional prose and a keen eye for the peculiar details that define our world will find themselves utterly absorbed.
