But Cormac finds ways to keep his mind and body occupied, ranging from helping to build the underground subway system, to painting, to learning to play piano, to becoming a reporter for a slew of different newspapers, to having relationships with women of varying seriousness. By the time he hits year 150, though, you’d think he’d be bored and jaded, or just driven completely insane. He fights for General Washington, becomes a friend of Boss Tweed, even meets some jazz greats. As I read on, though, Hamill got me to sign on, and soon my reactions were just like, “Oh, she turned into a raven” or “Hey, that’s the guy Cormac first met on the ship he left Ireland on.”Īnyway, Cormac doesn’t just passively watch history, he interacts with it. The first time something magical happened, I was really not into it, because it seemed to come out of nowhere. I also think this is the first book I’ve read written by a norteamericano that I’d call magical realism. What's more New York than reading in Central Park? □
