At times reminiscent of John Cheever, The Art of Fugue is the very stuff of reality: mundane and extraordinary allat once. With an eye for detail and a knack for dialogue, Clattenburg celebrates the minutiaeof modern American life-oversized parking lots, Led Zeppelin, the elliptical machine-to create characters who feel like friends and lovers we have known.
