Query: It's the prose, stupid!

I think Fitzgerald has the smoothest-flowing prose in American fiction. That's why I got so absorbed in this book -- even though some of the characters are people I know I wouldn't especially like in real life. I found myself questioning myself "Why are you continuing to read about these fatuous individuals? Do you really care what happens to them?" But I couldn't put the book down. I felt I was right there, actually participating in the storied 1920's decade, albeit a certain slice of that famous decade (which many liken to the 1990's). That's the magic of good writing.While Great Gatsby brings a distant generation to you, today's young generation (or a certain slice of it) comes right to you in "Love Songs of the Tone-Deaf" by Asher Brauner. In a similar way, this book has a hero you don't especially like at first, but the whole story is so engaging and the humor is so charming that you can't put it down either.
