Great novel of a young man caught up in an early play in New York City with the young Orson Welles. It's a good movie too, but I read the book way before the film, which is not usually the case with me!

3.5 stars.

It's light and breezy. The narrative revolves heavily around the "young man learns about life thanks to hero worship and sex" tropes, but the story occasionally surprised me in spots. There are some really nice moments. But I also thought it was pretty forgettable overall. That said, I definitely enjoyed it.

This satire of the "Cat Who" books will not charm fans of the series. It lacks the coziness of the original series, instead filled with promiscuity and vile language. Very little action on the alleged mystery concerning her death ever occurred with the exception of a bit of research into the phrase "lavender ink" which was the included in her last phone call to author James Kafka. I kept thinking they'd eventually get around to the mystery element, but about 65% of the way into the book (which is short--only 4 sections in audio format), I got so fed up with the sex and filthy language, I just abandoned it. Koko and YumYum would have done a far superior job resolving Braun's death. I wish I'd read the reviews here at LibraryThing before downloading it because I thought the title sounded cute when I stumbled across it on Overdrive. Not recommended.… (meer)
