I have to say that I ended up disliking this book by an acclaimed author.
I learned very little about the man, Miles, who locked himself in the room. I enjoyed the description of the unpleasant dinner party, and of significant life events of several people connected to Miles. But the last section of the book, about the very smart little black girl, Brooke, totally took me out of the story. The entire section, including the numerous puns and historical references, did nothing for me. It felt contrived and pretentious.
