A most excellent book, subtle yet interesting, one of the rascally authors being a rapper. I had three dozen wished for novels bought from a library sale shelf and luckily noted this on Phyllis G's wish list.

"T is for Tsunami. The charging tsunami washed away all of Tchaikovsky's tchotchkes."
My favorites are E and U.
(My copy obtained from one of the maybe hundred branches of LA County Library. Sadly only ten of them have the book, none were checked out, and this copy is AF--hardly read.)
