Acceptable Losses is more than acceptable.
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 19 years ago
My husband and I were recently having a conversation and one of us used the term "acceptable loss" which inspired a discussion about this book. He read it years ago and still had it and could still find it. He remembered liking it so I decided to read it as well. The main character, Roger Damon, is a fairly successful literary agent living in New York in the late 70's or early '80's. One night, he gets a nebulous threatening phone call telling him he has been a bad boy and he will have to pay. The first three-fourths of the book is about Damon examining his life and people that might consider him an enemy. I couldn't put it down. The last part of the book seemed implausible compared to the first, almost like he couldn't find an appropriate ending. I felt a little unsatisfied with the ending but it didn't ruin the book for me. I felt Shaw really developed the characters, they didn't seem hollow at all. I think I want to read Rich Man Poor Man next.
