Look at Me

March 18, 2013 by Drew

The Short Version: After a terrible car accident, model Charlotte Swenson returns to her life unrecognizable – where she’d once been instantly noticed.  As she begins to pick up the pieces and discover this brave new world, her path intersects with several other people trying to define their own brave new worlds: her niece, coming into her sexuality as a high school girl; a private detective searching for a mysterious man; Michael West, a shadowy math teacher; Moose, Charlotte’s hometown […]

A Visit From The Goon Squad

March 12, 2011 by Drew

The Short Version: “Time’s a goon, right?” – Bennie Salazar.  Music, love, death, life, money, New York City, time.  A collection of interconnected short stories about people involved, even peripherally, in the music business.  But really?  A collection of stories about us. The Review: I’m not even sure that I can approach this book in any rational way at the moment.  I just finished it and felt the need to get some of my thoughts out but I’m having trouble […]
