The World of Tomorrow
By Brendan Mathews
560 pages;
Little, Bwon and Company
This Doctorow-esque debut novel shimmers with the swing and swank of
1939 New York, where Francis, an Irish prison escapee, schmoozes
socialites while eluding an assassin. Mathews’s urban epic is as rich
and raucous as the city it celebrates.
