Review of 11 Central Ave #55 - Rick Moody's "The Birthday Present"


I came on this episode out of the blue - didn't know anything about the series and was doing about 5 other things at the same time until I found myself staring at the computer while listening.

Moody has written an incredibly compelling and credulous episode - I can only hope the tenor of this piece will echo throughout the series. It's real without being trite. I could hear it in the middle of just about anything.
