'Gossip Girl' creators Josh Schwartz and Stephanie Savage turn Garth Risk Hallberg's doorstop book into an eight-part not-quite-murder mystery.
well after its initial publication hype, it isn’t always clear what generated that buzz in the first place.
At 900+ pages, it’s an unquestionably ambitious first novel, but Hallberg’s distinctive prose feels mostly in service of obfuscation. It’s a book in which all manner of structural and aesthetic trickiness — an occasionally evocative ’70s setting, faux Dickensian sprawl, flashbacks, flash-forwards, digressions in the form of a punk rock ‘zine and a fireworks-obsessed piece of long-form journalism — offer distraction from the run-of-the-mill mysteries that make up the core storyline.
