false 1263409 7 <div><div><b>In this icy noir from a master of American fiction, the darkest secrets are the ones we keep hidden from ourselves. <br><br><br><br></b>Ben Dibbuk has a good job, an accomplished wife, a bright college-age daughter, and a patient young mistress. Even as he goes through the motions of everyday life, however, inside he feels nothing. The explanation for this emotional void lies in the years he spent as a blacked-out drunk before pulling his life together&#8212;years in which he knows he committed acts he doesn&#8217;t remember. Then a woman from his past turns up at a gala for his wife&#8217;s new gig at a magazine called <i>Diablerie </i>and makes it clear that she remembers something he doesn&#8217;t. Their encounter sets wheels in motion that will propel Dibbuk toward new knowledge, and perhaps the chance to feel again. With the same erotic force as <i>Killing Johnny Fry</i>, but grounded in a far darker vision of human nature, <i>Diablerie </i>is a transfixing new novel from one of our most powerful writers. </div></div> 2694530 2006 Diablerie: A Novel total:132|5:14|4:34|3:55|2:17|1:12| 132 417 184 44 3 0 false false Tue Jul 28 14:17:02 -0700 2009 Tue Jul 28 14:26:19 -0700 2009 more...]]> 1 0 false false Mon Feb 16 00:00:00 -0800 2009 Fri Feb 13 17:31:36 -0800 2009 Mon Feb 16 12:47:02 -0800 2009
1) I didn't finish the book. Not even close.
2) This is the first Mosley book I've picked up.

Now, with that in mind. This book was entirely misleading. The jacket makes it...more...]]> 3 1 false false Sat Dec 01 00:00:00 -0800 2007 Fri Jan 04 07:12:25 -0800 2008 Fri Jan 04 07:15:39 -0800 2008
I enjoy the writing. I enjoy the detail. I enjoy the characters. I simply could not enjoy how this book ended. It was as if he said "Fuggit!" slapped the end together, and went out for a drink.

Nowhere near as graphic as his other "erotic novel", i...more...]]> 4 0 false false Tue Mar 10 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Tue Mar 10 05:15:27 -0700 2009 Tue Mar 10 05:28:53 -0700 2009
Marketed as an erotic novel, but not erotic at all (though there is a lot of sex involved).
