This is one of my all-time favorite New York novels. It's hilarious and tragic, and captures perfectly the scruffy Brooklyn milieu in which it's set. The story is quite strange -- there's a mystery involving the mafia, an Eastern-mystic guru, a doorman, and a car service, all told by a detective (?) with Tourette's Syndrome, still traumatized by his childhood in an orphanage. The literary energy just whirls you along.
