...glad they’re reading too. Instead, I want to acknowledge my as-of-this-writing-unborn grandchildren. I want to do this because it occurred to me recently that some day, as my distant kin are sitting in their dorm rooms in Allston looking out onto their gorgeous new student center (or, heaven forbid, envying it from somewhere down in New Haven), they might get bored and Google their granddad.

...miraculously found its way into the hands of Boone's neighbor. But nothing is what it seems: Manhattan-accented Marlene is in fact a trucker's daughter from Benalla, in Victoria's Ned Kelly country, and the painting's contested authenticity will drag the smitten Boone and his "gorgeous thief" all the way to New York via Tokyo. Supplying comic verve is the book's sometime narrator "Slow Bones" Hugh, Boone's 100-kg idiot-savant brother. Wandering city streets with his folding chair, "I was up and off like a greyhound after an electric hare," says Hugh...
