Headlong by Michael Frayn (loaner from Curt)
My friend Curt loaned this to me ages ago. I’ve read it in fits and bursts.
Curt had paralleled it to Cryptonomicon, except substitute art criticism for computer nerdiness. That’s probably apt.
There’s a lot of art nerdiness going on here which I was wholly ignorant about. So now I know how non-technical folk feel when reading Cryptonomicon.
Even though I only read it in bits and pieces, I will still say it is a fine book. To own the truth, I read the second book in the Baroque Cycle in fits and spurts over the course of a full year, so that isn’t a good barometer to judge a book by.
