This is a fun review, James, about a novel that I also enjoyed reading. It's nice to know you also found it to your liking. I believe it's Ben Yagoda's first novel—he's also written a book on the clashes and commonalities between American English and British English, "Gobsmacked," a biography of Will Rogers, and other nonfiction.

Much appreciated.

I've been reading O. Henry's stuff recently, so this would be a good companion piece.
