STRANGERS' GATE—Tom Casey—An unusual novel, with usual plot but unusually presented and concluded. Norman Mailer said, “From the brilliance of the opening chapter,one is aware of a writer with an exceptional point of view.” Perhaps he used this format to bring his views to the widest possible audience. In addition, his love of airplanes and flying bring a fascinating portrait of flying and the pilots who love to fly. With enough money to do what he chooses, Jason Walker becomes a pilot of an airboat in the Carribean, involved with a woman whose husband is deeply evil, etc. Jason's character is multidimensional....the others, perhaps less so. An unusual and good book.
