A delightful postmodern twentieth-century comedy of manners, a novel about the molecular Brownian relations of the ghosts of several "lost generations." It traces the fates of several dozen people from fairly prosperous New York State families, so it's also a family saga that covers a significant chunk of the twentieth century, from the 1930s to the 1960s. It's also a novel about painting and twentieth-century art, about the mystery of creativity, about its true and imaginary values, about originals and fakes. It is also a "novel of growing up", as well as a con novel with its detective intrigue, mysteries and unexpected plot twists. And of course, it's a book with many layers of irony that are masterfully assembled into such an exquisite Chinese puzzle box that it's a sheer reader's delight to sort through "Cigarettes."
