There is a joke, told by Gladman, that goes on for 13 pages a metafictional chapter in which the author wonders whether readers will picture his face when they read about Gladman or Apter a section about bartenders who can choose your perfect drink just by looking at you long asides about the dated television show “Entourage” and the actor Matt Dillon and an extended gag about David Mamet’s opinion on Spielberg’s “Schindler’s List.” There’s no doubt that Levin’s a gifted wit and a master of repartee, but even with the finest comedians, at a certain point the orchestra starts playing and someone backstage is looking for the curtain hook. There is a strong “Infinite Jest” energy here, which, while often brilliant, can verge on a “Quentin Tarantino and Paul Thomas Anderson doing cocaine together” sort of vibe. Unlike Elkin, Levin doesn’t always know when enough is enough.

Like Elkin, he has a boisterous yet mournful sensibility, nihilism backed with vaudeville shtick like Elkin, he has a gift for the riff and the digression, the labyrinthine shaggy-dog joke that roves and ranges until you’ve almost forgotten the setup. “Mount Chicago” is one of those sweeping, polyphonic, absurdist epic novels like they used to make - think, for example, of “A Confederacy of Dunces” or “The Bonfire of the Vanities” - though to me Levin most closely resembles his fellow Chicagoan Stanley Elkin. So Gladman resigns himself to staying alive until the parrot has lived out its life. He considers suicide, but can’t bring himself to abandon his pet parrot, which is so attached to Gladman that it begins to self-mutilate when Gladman isn’t around. Gladman’s entire family - his wife, parents, sisters, nieces and nephew - perishes in the anomaly, leaving him in a daze of agoraphobic grief, blurred out on Xanax and whiskey. … People in mourning did not need that.”Īmong the mourners is one Solomon Gladman, a sad-sack creative writing professor, prizewinning novelist and underground stand-up comedian. people call the inexplicable disaster a “terrestrial anomaly,” since the euphemism seismic event has “earthquakian overtones” and the term sinkhole is too reminiscent of Florida: Sinkholes “made you think of swamps and they made you think of armpits. It’s a timely setup in this age of disasters beyond parody, and Levin homes in hilariously on the lame official response. One day in November 2021, a crater opens up in Chicago and swallows a swath of Michigan Avenue, along with many thousands of people. Adam Levin’s expansive new novel begins with a high-concept catastrophe.
