Book Review: THE ORIGINAL BLOCKBUSTER NOVEL
Summary: 5 Stars
Don't be put off by the war setting. This powerful, epic novel revolves around a richly drawn cast of characters - just ordinary people at the onset of the story - and shows how their lives become entwined in the ensuing conflict of WW2.One of America's greatest and most-gifted novelists, Irwin Shaw is best remembered for his Rich Man, Poor Man TV mini-series of the 1970s, now available again on video. The quality of writing and depth of character in his classic novels is far superior to most of his predecessors today. A groundbreaking pioneer of the big, multi-character blockbuster novel (The Young Lions was first published in 1948), every author who has followed Irwin Shaw - from Stephen King to John Grisham - owes a debt to this literary trailblazer. My favourite novels are Rich Man, Poor Man; Nightwork; Evening in Byzantium; Two Weeks in Another Town; and the short story collection Five Decades, which contains such gems as "The Girls in their Summer Dresses" and "In the French Style." Try to get your hands on the brilliant biography, Irwin Shaw by Michael Shnayerson, for the full story of this legendary author's life and work.
