Down Time

Andrew Martin's latest novel is nothing less than stunning, with some of the best writing about being in your 30s and surrounded by writers. Exceedingly clever, with a menagerie of semi-despicable, horny, complex characters, DOWN TIME is the rebuttal to the misconception that a decent COVID-novel does not exist. Once I picked up this book and started reading, I could hardly leave it; when I did, Andrew Martin's voice remained in my head. If his books get any better, I may have to abandon reading altogether.
