The Great Mistake (2021)
Jonathan Lee
"Like Denis Johnson's Train Dreams and John Williams' Stoner, Jonathan Lee peels back a forgotten layer of history to investigate longing and loneliness in the shape of a single man. The Great Mistake joins the ranks of Sarah Perry's novels, and Colm Tóibín's The Master, in lighting up the past, recreating Old New York--like Francis Spufford's Golden Hill--with an exuberance that transcends mere history. It is a remarkable book, a herculean construction that will prove lasting."
