Oof, this landed in my inbox nearly three weeks ago. Shouldn't have been dragging my fins.
Sometimes, I read cap I don't like.
Sometimes, I read cap I do like - but I get no feeling for how the other Capital Managers will receive it.
And rarely - very rarely - I read cap that just sings. The feeble question of whether I like it or not pales into irrelevance, because it's so classy it needs to be discussed by smarter people than I. This cap is the closest I've come to that feeling in a while.
This cap transports us wholesale to the parts of California rich people don't see, sometime in the recent past - although the well-drawn characters seem frozen in time, as if this could just as well have been set fifty years ago. The ordinariness of their situation is belied by quietly beautiful literary turns of phrase. There's a road trip to Mexico, replete with drugs and music, but this ain't no stoner movie. It's more honest, more obtuse, more painful than that. Like an autopsy of the American Dream. It's about nothing, and everything.
Send it to the top.
