Juliet, Naked

by Suss

November 2009

You don’t need us to tell you about Nick Hornby. But we will say this: every­thing we’ve ever liked about his pre­vi­ous books—the music in-jokes, the skill­ful treat­ment of mul­ti­ple points of view, parent-child rela­tion­ships, the com­pli­cated mess of adult rela­tion­ships, the simul­ta­ne­ous and equally nuanced indict­ment and sup­port of pop­u­lar cul­ture and those who love it, the sub­tle humor and real pathos—all of it is, at last, hap­pen­ing together, in har­mony, in this newest novel.
