It wasn't funny, it didn't have much of a plot, the characters weren't sympathetic...and I could not bear to read more than 2/3 of it. Sorry, Jack, I know you're dead, but this book was just too self-indulgent and amateurish. No wonder no one's heard of you. Oh well, thank goodness for libraries. Makes it easy to stop reading when you realize the book isn't worth your time. ( ) nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione

There is a curse on Point Vestal. Time moves differently in this sleepy Northwestern coastal town, where the ghosts of the past roam the streets as readily as the living inhabitants. It's still the late 19th century, and underneath the quaint touristy allure of the commingling of the past and present is a lurking darkness. August Starling, a decadent (and dead) crime baron, has a plan for Point Vestal because the magical nature of the town is a haven for sinners fleeing judgment for their crimes. And the only residents who can stop him are newcomers to town: a defrocked Episcopalian priest and a talking cat, who is fluent in seven languages. The Off Season is an effusive meditation on the nature of the fantastic, by a writer theAtlanta Constitution calls "a lasting voice in modern American literature." Cady, winner of both the Nebula and the World Fantasy Award, has given us "a consummate yarn, told with many digressions and anecdotes that combine with folksy humor to create a tall tale suffused with pathos and melancholy."
