Frank, a former sportswriter, is now a realtor trying desperately to peddle a house to a pair of neurotic Vermonters: for almost half a novel no less. So now I know the ins and outs and tediousness of the realty business. On the plus side this has much of the wry humor upon which I thrive. The author's use of the English language somewhat remind me of Updike, as does his research into the realm of real estate, and family disunity of the times. Finally, a straightforward readable book that, I feel, is worthy of the Pulitzer Prize.
