Book Reviews of Lush Life: A Novel
Book Review: A good abstraction , but no bone-rattling plot.
Summary: 3 Stars
That's the way I would describe this baby. If you're into atmospheric novels and don't mind the absence of plot ( Claire Messud fans out there?) , then you'll like this. Lush life is about a mood; a New York moment captured; crumbling and cast to the side in a few years for a new kind of the same. Gritty and smooth at the same time, it is an exercise in abstract crime writing. The equivalent of modern art for me; something you cock your head at and say " I don't think I know what this is really, but I kinda like it."
