Anyone read this?
I enjoyed 'Lucked Out' by the vanity fair author and his 70s NY.
I've read interviews with him and he seems like a fraud. Saged and hidden.

Dude what
It was very long but very rewarding. I'm excited to see what Garth Risk Hallberg will write next.
I was in the book store and I noticed that, even though this book is published by Knopf, whose books usually have sewn signatures, this book is bound with cheap glue. It's not hard to imagine why they did this -- they paid $2 million for the right to publish the book, and the book is huge, which means lots of paper, which is expensive, so they're trying to make their money back -- but it's still disappointing.
Risk is his middle name.
Editor: Pay you $2 million for your first novel? And it's 900 pages? I-- It's a bit of a risk.
Garth: Well, sir...
