The After Party by Anton DiSclafani

4.0

This was one of those books that gradually pulls you in. Very much like Joan Fortier herself, this book has an ever-growing mangetism that slowly pulls you to the very climactic center. But the resolve is beautiful in it's glory like the time and era this book takes place in. It reminds me at times of Gone With the Wind in it's sweeping majesty and writing, and at times, the Help in how even the smallest characters interact with each other. This one will stick with me for a while. It also has that Grat Gadsby feel, in it's almost surreal at times atmosphere with the Shamrock Hotel and all the ambiance that had. The narrator here, Dorothy Dillingham Blue did an amazing job. She became Joan as much as she epitomized Cece Buchanan. I enjoyed this and have recommended and sent it to patrons, and told friends about this one since I picked it up. Read it, you won't regret it. Now, I'm off to find another, as they say here in Alabama, "good un." Happy reading yall.
