The Hero of This Novel Is 14. His Married Girlfriend Is 36.

Adam Ross' PLAYWORD was occasionally a slog at 528 pages, but ultimately worth the effort. Have you read it?

"A gorgeous cat's cradle of a book . . . The swirling vapors of Holden Caulfield are present in Playworld, for sure, but also Lolita, Willy Loman, Garp."
