Has anyone read these obscure Novel's?

[Dave Vicks]

THE COUP by John Updike,
and CHICAGO LOOP by Paul Theroux?

 

[Bick]

They’re not obscure novels, but leaving that aside…
I’ve read the Theroux. My memory, which is far from perfect, is that it was okay but not nearly as good as The Mosquito Coast or Jungle Lovers for example (or his travel books).

 

[Victoria Silverwolf]

I read The Coup many, many years ago, and just about all I remember about it is the narrator, the head of state of the fictional African nation of Kush, telling me that a river forms the only border of his country not drawn by a Frenchman's ruler.

Dave, I don't think obscure means what you think it means.
