This novel shows you America through the eyes of a realtor, a man who buys, sells, and rents houses. He is a decent, honest man, 55 years of age, who is comfortable living in the suburbs of New Jersey.
The author plays with language. The book is highly slang-y and you will need to look up many words in a good dictionary. Why should you bother? Because you will gain insight into the social classes of natives and immigrants in America from the angle of the houses people buy, the cars they drive, and the sorts of communities they live in.
