Fiction. 44-year-old William lives in Boston, sells real estate, and is maybe in love with his best friend Edward. So, disclaimer, I found The Object of My Affection so boring I had to read it twice, just to make sure it was actually as bad as I remembered. It was. But in my unrelenting optimism (evident only here, in the part of me that deals with books), I decided to give McCauley another chance. I liked this book much better! It has no chapters, only titled section headings, which gives it a casual, modern feel. The writing is light and smooth with moments of dry humor and it's very easy to read. That's the good. On the bad side, the characters are hard to connect with because they're all underdeveloped and disaffected. Even William, who I wanted to like, was giving me nothing. The book has no heart; it's withholding in exactly the right way to keep me reading, hoping for a hint of a lasting emotional connection between two characters, any two characters, but it never delivers. The book ends about ten pages too soon! Damn you, McCauley! Finally, the story is set a year after 9/11 and I don't like how trivial that comes off. It's like background noise, or a song playing on the radio meant to evoke an era, like, "Oh, I remember that!" The problem is, all the things he's pointing out as post-9/11 artifacts are still things we're living with today; he's not saying anything new about it. Edward, the one character who, as a flight attendant, was most directly affected by the events of 9/11, has all his breakdowns off-stage, which to me suggests that the author wasn't at all interested in seriously dealing with the fallout of 9/11, he just liked it as set dressing. Three stars. The prose is good and the story is cohesive, if plodding. I liked it better than The Object of My Affection, but it still doesn't deliver an emotional climax. In fact, it might be lacking any kind of climax at all, but it's a quick, mostly fun, read.
