Super: A Novel ReviewThis book takes place in ther 1950s in the dying days of the great transcontinental railroads about to be supplanted by air travel when it took 39 hours to make the trip from Chicago to Los Angeles.
Mr. Lehrer takes us aboard one of these luxury trains for a trip in which three people will lose their lives in different ways and for different reasons. The cast of characters includes historical figures like former President Harry S. Truman and Clark Gable as well as fictional creations.
The best thing about the book is the period recreation. We meet Ralph, the solicitous conductor who for a generous tip will arrange his passangers' beds, serve their meals and, in the case of Gable, bring a succession of "fair visitors" to the film star's compartment to be bedded and discarded.
Other characters appear but are not tremendously vivid or memorable.
It's a pleasant trip that Mr. Lehrer takes us on but no more than that. One has a sense of an experienced author going through his paces, not stretching himself, taking no artistic risks, delivering a smooth product that slips down easily and leaves almost no trace. It's very professional -- but a bit too perfunctory.Super: A Novel Overview
