Joshua Henkin's Matrimony
This was a pretty good novel about some college students and their lives for the like 15 years after college--Julian, a wannabe writer from a wealthy New York family, his Jewish-Canadian girlfriend Mia, and his friend Carter, who's from a poor family in California and has a chip on his shoulder. The book jacket description makes things seem very dramatic, but really it's just a nice novel about life and writing. B+.
Alicia--Thanks for the write-up about MATRIMONY. I wanted to let you know about a standing offer I have out to book groups to participate by phone (or in person, if the group is driving distance from me) in discussions of MATRIMONY, so if your book group (or any other book group you know) is interested, please get in touch with me at Jhenkin at SLC dot edu. Thanks.
