TheBookchemist | Summerland by Michael Chabon REVIEW @TheBookchemist | Uploaded June 2019 | Updated October 2024, 1 hour ago.
The first time I read this, it was summer, and most of the time I was lying the grass of Monza Park. That was wrong. Fiction like this is only allowed to reverberate as loud as it should when you experience it in conditions far removed from those narrated.
It's still kind of a mess!
