While it's a collection of short stories, Lost in the Funhouse is intended to be read as a singular work, and a lot of its creativity is derived from how the stories resonate with each other without always drawing directly from each other. The techniques and storytelling sometimes go flying overhead, but being able to grasp onto the occasional strand is a thorough satisfaction.

I have to give Jonathan Rabb extra stars because of Berlin. This second novel featuring noirish detective Nikolai Hoffner is set in Weimar Berlin with all of it wildness and immorality, and shows the beginnings of the Nazi rise to power in Germany. As in his previous novel, Rabb brings real historical persons into the mix. Here, where the subject is the German film industry, Fritz Lang and Peter Lorre appear along with many more figures of the time instrumental to the political situation.
