Hell, even Billy Joel got in on the act with his trumped-out prole anthems “Allentown” and “The Downeaster Alexa,” conjuring up infinitely absurd images of Joel working in a steel mill, or relying on “the rod and the reel” to feed his family. Predating the Killers’ similar appropriation by several decades, Joel’s irony may have been unintended, but the best of the genre, and its musical ancestors, relied on a self-conscious tension between catchiness and acerbity...

The hero of this tale is an 11-year-old boy named Joel, who has a retarded brother, an oversexed sister and a face covered by tea-cake-size splotches--"a physical expression of the ethnic and racial battle" raging in his blood. George, a U.S. writer whose British-style mysteries were becoming a bit formulaic, took a gamble with this...
