Holzer seems to have elevated so-called and dismissed "hind sight" into the glaring receptacle of the present.

And for those of us who grew up in the era - hegemony? - of "The Jewish Novel" - it's a kind of discrete elegy for the passing of a time and space in New York letters. (Yes, very upper west side without the W Allen anxious antics).
