Review:
If there is one subject with which William Norwich, gossip columnist for the New York Observer and editor at large for Vogue, is familiar, it is the wacky life of a New York gossip columnist. So it makes sense that Norwich choose that life as the launching point for his first novel. From there the book takes a sharp turn: columnist/protagonist Julian Orr decides at age 37 to learn to drive, enrolls in a driving school, clashes with his driving instructor, and then takes a wild ride in the netherworld of famous people outside of Manhattan.
