Landing a job at an international press agency in Washington has enabled the young Albert Nostran to flee his manic father and the existential boredom that sets in the northeastern provinces as the year draws to a close, but stability and the ideal (or semi-ideal or even semi-semi-ideal) woman are goals that remain frustratingly out of reach. His heart sinks when the charming Jillian informs him that she lives in Richmond, only two and a half hours away. Only. The graveyard shift and a strange roommate do little to add lead to the old pencil. He feels a big news event would improve matters, but when it does, it is his worst nightmare: John Lennon Is Shot Dead in Nyc. Not sufficiently trained, somewhat more literary than journalistic, his dispatches fail to elicit unadulterated praise. A ray of hope materializes in the presence of a young woman who happens to be none other than the boss's daughter. The romance sputters, and Nostran is fired. A series of less-than-inspiring/resume-unfit jobs ensue until the son of a friend of his father's turns him on to the notion of freelancing. A more accommodating lass provides him with an opportunity to write about a local sculpture exhibit . . . In All of the Night, we empathize with a young man left to his own demons, attempting to assert himself in the world of full-blown adults he is yet to feel totally comfortable with. Like the critically acclaimed The Big Jiggety and Pop the Plug (check Amazon), All of the Night is laced with a compelling blend of humor and pathos, underscored by Nostran's piquant, sometimes profound, never-boring commentary and a panoply of colorful characters giving the protagonist reason to push ahead even though the deck is not entirely stacked in his favor.

This story is a reflection on the coming-of-age of a recent college graduate trying to make his way in the world. Life, love, and career unfold in an entertaining tale of introspection. I recommend reading the first two volumes to better appreciate this one. Three thumbs up!

By onealski In Michael Kent’s wonderful new novel, All of the Night, we follow the adventures of a young man, Albert Nostran, fresh from college where he earned a degree in English, who moves to Washington, DC, to find his bliss in job and romance. It’s not the plot alone that makes this such a fascinating read; it’s the author’s erudite and humorous style. Because he grew up in France and is fluent in the language, Albert lands a job at the Universal Wire Service, a French press, where he works the night shift. While he struggles to establish a name for himself, he also finds someone to room with, an obnoxious American who is too hale, too hearty, too dense. Albert meanwhile looks for romance and seems to have a beacon directing him to all the wrong ladies. When he is fired from the wire service, he optimistically seeks a more perfect employment,. Instead he lands the crap job many young people have had, as a Time-Life salesman. Later on, he takes a Temp position where he files papers alphabetically in a room with no windows. Eventually, he finds better roommates and perhaps because he is so young, he never gives up on himself, even applying for work at a delicatessen. He doesn’t get the job, though he assures the owner that he has invented a sandwich. She doesn’t ask what that sandwich might be, perhaps just as well, as it consists of canned corn kernels on white bread with mayonnaise. Meanwhile, his artistic mind is clicking mental pictures. In a scene I love, Albert goes back to the family home and looks through his Dad’s desk . There he finds a series of his old man’s passport pictures. The author writes: “Beyond graying and loss of hair, beyond the wrinkles was the transformation of the eyes. In the beginning, on the sepia photograph, one could see hope, dreams, energy, good looks; the following, black-and-white period, displayed a certain roguishness, not to say cynicism, a sounder knowledge of life, perhaps even better looks, bushier eyebrows as well; in the end: color, regrets, and an attempt to smile.” There’s so much I admire about Kent’s book. The surprise of a verb: “The cab splashed away, gulped by the night.” His effervescent humor: “Nothing is quite as sexy as a woman saying, ‘no. you shouldn’t,’ while licking her chops, with moist eyes, quivering nostrils, and vibrating lips, implying ‘ go ahead, you animal, you.’” His artistic sensibilities: …”I walked up the smooth incline whose stately buildings—some of them, and the blonde Mayflower Hotel in particular…and sporadic elms, were still lightly brushed by the late afternoon sun like in a Monet painting.” His constant observations of humanity: “She laughed, displaying a fine row of teeth, the kind dentists’ nightmares are made of…” His description of the building with no windows: “A handsome structure that would make Hitler’s bunker look like a rococo extravagance.” I could select many more passages, but I want you to find them for yourselves. I guarantee you will be laughing and nodding and cheering on the hapless hero from page 1 to page 191. Michael Kent is truly a great writer and his art, scattered throughout the book, delightfully enhances the reader’s experience.

2 of 2 people found the following review helpful. All of my Thumbs --- Straight UP! By JENNIFER SPERRY This book should be a bestseller, no question. It's really the best read I've had in a long time. How nice to have a book that makes you laugh and gets you involved in the character, keeping you up half the night reading it because you can't put it down, without murders, monsters or creatures from outer space. Not that I have ever read those, ha ha. Well, maybe one or two or 10. It's the kind of book where you trip over a sentence and you have to go right away and read it to someone. Hats off, a genius.
