THE MANDARIN pretends to be an ordinary novel. But it is set in places that no longer exist. The plot develops recursively rather than progressively. It is written almost entirely in dialogue: consciousness tends to be communal rather than personal. At any moment, the characters might stop talking and start doing something. They won't, but the option is always available.

Paperback. Etat : Very Good. Unheimlich children of Virginia Woolf and Oscar Wilde, the Modernist Novel and a decadent despairing of it, Aaron Kunin's characters are embodied by speech--witty, philosophical, narratological. They speak and they think, occasionally, about problems of the novel, but just as often about slights, real or imagined; originary issues of form and content; things to eat and drink. They are walking mind-body problems. The volume of psychological realism and emotional force they acquire as they go along in fraught relation to one another comes therefore as a surprise boon, a delirious trick, a happy byproduct of their unimaginable contextualization in a Minneapolis they do not quite inhabit.
