Genre: Book
Grade: A
Notable People: Jerzy Kosinski
Title: Pinball
Review: On a recent work foray to the Caribbean, I did not want to haul a hardcover book to read, so hit my archives, and decided to go back and read this 1982 gem. I had not read Kosinski in years, and was shocked at how fresh and relevant he remains all these years later. This, his bestselling work, was written for George Harrison and is a wacked out story of a famous musician who chooses to remain totally anonymous to the public, and the washed-up composer who sets out to unmask him. Filled with humor, suspense and wild eroticism, this book is hard to put down, and a formidable notch in Kosinski’s considerable belt. Well worth the retro-read.
