The Comedown
The Comedown | Rebekah Frumkin
10 posts | 10 read | 12 to read
A dazzling epic that follows two very different families in Cleveland across generations, beginning with their patriarchs, who become irrevocably intertwined one fateful night A blistering dark comedy, The Comedown is a romp across America, from the Kent State shootings to protest marches in Chicago to the Florida Everglades, that explores delineating lines of race, class, religion, and time. Scrappy, street smart drug dealer Reggie Marshall has never liked the simpering addict Leland Bloom-Mittwoch, which doesnt stop Leland from looking up to Reggie with puppy-esque devotion. But when a drug deal goes dramatically, tragically wrong and a suitcase (which may or may not contain a quarter of a million dollars) disappears, the two men and their families become hopelessly entangled. Its a mistake that sets in motion a series of events that are odd, captivating, suspenseful, and ultimately inevitable. Both incendiary and earnest, The Comedown steadfastly catalogs the tangled messes the characters make of their lives, never losing sight of the beauty and power of each family members capacity for love, be it for money, drugs, or each other.

A Dark Comedy Full Of Family Drama. 4/5
The Plot was intriguing. I am loving Family Sagas lately. I always find reading about complex family relationships particularly appealing.
I loved the layout of the chapters as well. Allowing the characters to tell their stories.
So much goes on in these families lives with a drug deal gone bad. The rollercoaster motion it sets off is intense to watch unravel!

Frumkin's novel consists of connected short stories which tell the story of a family impacted by the drug world. I love the idea of getting more info about specific events through the lens of different characters, but each chapter just left me plain confused. I was turned off by the repetitiveness and the overabundance of details about side characters that didn't add anything to the story. This was just really disappointing. ⭐️⭐️⭐️ #NetGalley

A good book that suffers from over complication (read: too many characters named Leland or Lee).

Found this while looking for a book with a colourful cover. The cover is actually decieving to a much darker plotline. Might actually read this one day.

Got my first #PageHabit box! I won a free extra book with my purchase, so I figured I‘d give it a go. Definitely quality stuff in here! The tote is super cute, a nice bookmark, and a cute wooden pencil with a kitty. I‘m excited to read both The Comedown and Radio Free Vermont with the post-it annotations from the author. I probably wouldn‘t have picked these books on my own, but they seem interesting enough! #mypagehabit

tammysue Super! I should try this out 😁 7y

ARC from NetGalley. I don‘t know what I think. I loved the main plot and the way it read like Did You Ever Have A Family or the movie Crash, exploring the way different lives are interconnected by one single event or person, and the ramifications on each person. Her writing is excellent and I loved her respect for Judaism. But the extended backstories of each character was tedious and annoying. This is a book you‘ll love or hate. No in-between.
