I have no idea what the hell this book is about, but I can tell you I enjoyed it greatly. Pair it with red wine, some Didion, or better yet, Sleepless Nights.

My first reading for the #1976Club left me rather disappointed.
Speedboat is a novel without any plot, that reads more like a rather boring nonfiction work (though most of the nonfiction I read is NOT boring!).
Final verdict: A rather boring glimpse on the chaotic New York society of the 1970s. Skip.
