For Sheer Unpredictable Brilliance, Gogol May Come To Mind, But No Author Alive Today Takes A Reader As Far As Helen Dewitt Into The Funniest, Most Yonder Dimensions Of Possibility. Her Jumping-off Points Might Be Statistics, Romance, The Art World's Piranha Tank, Games Of Chance And Games Of Skill, The Travails Of Publishing, Or Success. Look, A Character Begins To Explain, Laying Out Some Gambit Reasonably Enough, Even If Facing A World Of Boomeranging Counterfactuals, Situations Spinning Out To Their Utmost Logical Extremes, And Rube Goldberg-like Moving Parts, Where Things Prove More Complicated Than They Had First Appeared And At 3 A.m. The Circumstances Seem To Attenuate. In Various Ways, Each Tale Carries Dewitt's Signature Poker-face Lament Regarding The Near-impossibility Of The Life Of The Mind When One Is Made To Pay To Have The Time For It, In A World So Sadly Taken Up With All Sorts Of Paraphernalia Superfluous, Not To Say Impedimental, To Ratiocination.
