And her flitting from genre to genre -- last one I saw was swing big-band chantoozie -- is idiotic. <br /><br />One of my worst memories of Berlin was a long cab-ride with a cigar-smoking Ossie driver blasting Nina on the stereo. There were enough of us that I had to sit up front with him.

It's the only yawning gap in the whole book, and, since it covers everything else so admirably, I wish he'd just not written about it or written just enough to contextualize other stuff, and moved on. <br /><br />Book's still great.
