A brilliant and beautifully crafted tale of adultery and erotic obsession, Gangsters is a thinking person's Damage, a more complex Last Tango in Paris. Gangsters is a strikingly original novel about the ways in which men and women connect. The book offers a view of love and sex that is tough-minded, edgy and often unsettling, but always honest.
Gangsters doesnt idealize real life or provide fluff and sap for the storybook-ending reader. It is a real novel about real people who, like the people you know, don't have it all figured out and do have inconsistencies and are deeply complicated. That is why it is such a great read--the characters are all so well developed that they remind you of your best friends, your old boyfriends, your ex-husband, or your nemesis. Zimroth adds the religious dimension proving that she is not only an insightful reader of human character but also an intellectual, and this dimension adds to the complexity of her characters and their dilemnas.
