Its spring in Ivyland . . .Debut novelist Miles Klee takes a landscape of drugs, decay, loss and, perhaps, hope, and manages to make the ensemble wryly funny: something only a few notable contemporaries such as Jeff Vandermeer and Michael Chabon have been able to do. Post-urban New Jersey is instantly recognizable in this interlinked series of short vignettes.. . . and Levs living room is puddles of water and sun, and a bunch of those furry caterpillars are hauling themselves from surface to surface.Populated by a bumbling, murderous citizenry of corrupt cops, innocents, ravenous addicts, lovesick geniuses, and cynical adventurers, Ivyland operates in the shadow of a giant pharmaceutical corporation that thrives on peoples weaknesses . . . and may have an even more sinister agenda. Its our world, only a bit more extreme, and lovingly, precisely depicted with the adept skills native to a master of dark humor.
