This may require a re-read, so I can wrap my head around the literary value, but when I read this so long ago, I couldn't help but hate Holden Caulfield. With every fiber of my being, I hate him.

this was one of the best books I've read in a long time. I laughed, I cried. Some things were predictable, others were not. A book about a bookseller. The literary references and discussion spoke to my inner book nerd. Read it!

Book Favorite

"Meyer’s first book, American Rust, was a literary page-turner. His second, The Son, is an American epic. I read an advance copy and came away staggered by its power and depth. I haven’t read anything this good in a long, long time."

"This harrowing account of life in a slum near the Mumbai airport is a kind of literary miracle. Boo captures the texture of the place, and the hopes and struggles of its residents, with an intimacy that a novelist can only envy."
