...writing in the voice of a junk-sick 1950s pulp hack who dreams of being a Pulitzer winner. He seems to find the masquerade liberating. For once he never has to stop the action or worry about the prose being too purple or not purple enough. Gentlemen contains only trace amounts of irony.

"Are you sad?" a chatty prostitute asks Amram. "Filled with remorse?" No, he says: "I've lost...

Johnston ’03, formerly a jewelry designer at David Yurman, is now focused exclusively on her own jewelry line SISU, which has seen meager but successful sales for the past two years.

...painter, his uncle a renowned physicist, and his mother Lucy Ramberg an expat American poet living in a chalet in the Italian Alps when Mario was born in 1937. She had fallen in with a group of bohemian writers who believed, her son says with just a trace of bemusement, that "they could wipe out Fascism and Nazism with a pen."
