The Thieves of Manhattan: A Novel

Summary: "Mr. Langer Lost Me On The Curve"

I loved "The Thieves of Manhattan" by Adam Langer. A well wrought premise, at first neatly told and with little literary conceits that are down right amusing: a golightly is a cocktail dress as in "Breakfast at Tiffany's" and a faulkner is a whiskey, and so on. There is even a glossary of terms. Imagined or not, it is an interesting glimpse into the publishing world that seems dimmer everyday; smug agents, posers, flash-in-the-pan best selling authors, clueless publishers. A book where most characters are not as they seem.

As said I loved it, as in past tense. Someone once wrote or said that in a novel an author can get away with one coincidence, and I suppose in a tolstoy (really hefty one) perhaps a couple. As this story unspools the coincidences, the accidents of improbable timing are simply staggering. It became almost impossible to suspend disbelief--as if one had been reading an amusing book that suddenly turned into a Indiana Jones adventure, and then into a cartoon.

In the first half there were a couple of plot distractions that caused hairline cracks in my suspension of disbelief, but they weren't fatal. All of a sudden something happens on page 174 that doesn't seem wrong until later in the story, but eventually it causes major cracks in the disbelief problem. (I don't want to make this a spoiler.) On page 194 a genuine deus ex machina appears in the form of an overweight café owner--unexpected and really inexplicable, although the author tries to explain it. In another scene the hero apparently reaches out for a glass of water but two pages later his hands are tied so that he has to indicate something with his chin as a pointer.

Lastly, I wished that I'd stopped reading at about page 190 and skipped to the last chapter. In the in between our hero becomes something of a human punching bag who should have been dead or hospitalized but manages with amazing resilience to bounce back like Wiley Coyote.

Hence the three stars.

Summary: "Flipping the Pages"

If there is an overriding theme to Adam Langer's books, it is the perception of value, real and imagined. What lends importance, therefore value, is perception rather than real worth. Does value inherently inhabit an item, or is it conferred falsely. In Ellington Boulevard, Langer's subject was real estate in the most volatile, unapproachable market in the nation, New York. Now, it is art, predominantly, the world of publishing. This is a romp where the reader has to be on their toes to be able to fit all the pieces together and realize the last laugh is on them. This book along with The Imperfecionists are the two most delightful comedies I have read this year have to do with books and newspapers and their shaky futures. Highly recommended.

Summary: "Fiction versus life"

What an outstanding summer read.

You feel like you have known the characters for years--can see them, hear them, and empathize with them. The only con is Anya's accent--it's a little overdone--but besides that, what a wonderful book. A must read.

Summary: "Faustian Pact With The Literary Devil"

Adam Langer had to have had a blast writing this book. It's mischievous, fun, and oh-so-clever. And it's also mana for readers who will recognize and enjoy the many literary allusions.

Take this, for example: "He called an overcoat a `gogol,', a smile a `cheshire,' and an umbrella a `poppins.' He called trains `highsmiths' because they appeared so often in Patricia Highsmith's thrillers, and referred to money as `daisies,', since in The Great Gatsby, F. Scott Fitzgerald describes Daisy Buchanan's voice as being `full of money.' :

Who wouldn't love a book like that?

The book focuses on a wanna-be author named Ian Minot (Ian McEwan? Susan Minot?), who toils in a coffee shop and envies his Romanian girlfriend who has just published the literary sensation of the year. His own stories are "small" and he is unable to find the right "home" for them. He is more than a little envious of Blade Markham, an ex-con who has written a smarmy memoir entitled "Blade by Blade", which has topped the bestseller list, despite a glaring lack of talent.

Enter Jed Roth, the Confident Man, who presents him with an offer he can't refuse: rewrite Roth's fictional book Thieves of Manhattan, repackage this over-the-top narrative as memoir, and become the darling of the publishing world. Roth adds, "When a hundred thousand copies of your book have already been shipped to every bookstore in America, you'll say that every word in it is a lie...When people ask why you did it, you'll tell them that you did it because it was the only way to get anyone to pay attention to your stories."

Shades of James Frey! Adam Langer divides his book into three sections: Fact, Fiction, and Memoir. And to add to the fun, the book is touted with real blurbs by two great literary hoaxers, JT Leroy and Clifford Irving. There's an Oprah clone, a delicious look at bottom-crawler agents and more.

As I was reading, I was reminded of other books: Paul Auster's Invisible (another pact with the literary devil), Steve Hely's excellent How I Became A Famous Novelist and Carlos Ruiz Zuin's Shadow of The Wind. All are recommended as well.

Summary: "Great Book - Funny, Surprising, Fast-Paced"

Wow! What an unexpected book. This is a fast-paced skewering of the publishing industry which reminds me of Richard Russo's "Straight Man." It's a comic novel that's so well-written (creating its very own literary vocabulary!) you almost can't see how clever it is until it's done and you have to start reading it all over again. For anyone who ever tried to get a piece of art made, this is priceless, and for anyone who hasn't -- enjoy the ride!
