New York Review Books Long weekend read: "The Old Man and Me" by Elaine Dundy is a July IndieBound Notable pick.

The Old Man and Me | IndieBound

Source: www.indiebound.org

“American antihero Honey Flood (hint, not her real name) is on a quest for money, love and revenge in '60s London. A witty romp that explores the British/American cultural divide and the human passions that bridge national boundaries.”

My friend Tom, who wrote this Omnivoracious blog entry, is a real NYRB fan. (I am an occasional Omnivoracious contributor, as listed on the right side of the page). Always great to see NYRB make an appearance there.

Cedric at 4:44pm July 2

Yes! Very funny. Very horrible. A really surprising black comedy. "READ IT!"

Jack at 8:48pm July 2

I am a big Lethem fan but I would have thought that Paul Auster would be more closely associated with Brooklyn than anybody else. Any thoughts?
