What the Manolo Is…

Manolo says, it is Tuesday, time to see what the Manolo is…

Reading…

The Manolo has to say that he cannot remember when he loved the book on the first reading as much as he loved the Freddy and Fredericka.

Yes, it is the hilarious book, but more than that it is the beautifully written, wonderfully humane and elegaic book, one that celebrates all of those things that the Manolo most admires. It recognizes what the Manolo has long thought, that the greatest philosophy of all is love. It trumps everything.

Sadly, instead of moving straight into the next Helprin novel, the Manolo read the
Christopher Buckley book
, which, while amusing, was the thin, watery gruel compared to the feast of the Freddy and the Fredericka. And now the Manolo is determined to read all of the Helprin novels in the coming weeks.
