Problem of Tripp SWIVEL6 6 Lite

So many reviews have already been written about this wonderful novel, so I’ll just say that I enjoyed it very much. In fact, it is one of the best novels that I’ve read in the last 5 years. The construction of the novel is clever, the characters are well-drawn, and the plot is very compelling. Gruen made two wise decisions in structuring the story: a) starting with the big event that the rest of the story retroactively leads up to, and b) having Jacob Jankowski narrate the story long after the events as an old man in a nursing home. These choices give the story extra tension, poignancy, and depth; they’re the novelistic equivalent of adding 3D to a movie. Gruen obviously did extensive research to capture what it was like to work and live in a depression era travelling circus.
