It was a five-star read for me, also.
I loved his style, the imagerie, the indirection, the convolutedness (if that's a word), even the repetition. And it clicked when he invoked Winesburg, Ohio, at the end. He was bringing all those people back to life, tics and all.
I also was fascinated by his bug's eye view of independence and the suggestion of how he arrived at his current two-state position, with understanding and compassion for the Palestinians.
This was easily one of the best books I've read this year; nor is it the only Lit Club selection this year to make my personal ten best list.
