Mr. Vertigo - Paul Auster 
A young boy in 1920s America learns to overcome his racist upbringing, how to read, how to
care, and eventually how to fly. Auster's grand portrait of the depression era is marred by the anti-climactic last third of the novel -- having taught a boy to fly,
what more could an author accomplish? Not much, providing a segue to lackluster tale of gangland Chicago.
