Last Call in the City of Bridges
Salvatore Pane’s debut novel “Last Call in the City of Bridges” is a book about a 25-year-old man named Michael Bishop and the many relationships that he makes, destroys and mends before and during the 2008 presidential election. It is the story of man accepting the world around him, finding and losing love and coming to terms with his best friend’s death. Pane’s characters witness many problems that Americans face in today’s world of social media. This book speaks to a generation that grew up playing 8-bit Nintendo games and spending hours and hours on the Internet. “Last Call in the City of Bridges” is an interesting and realistic look at twenty-first-century America. The novel targets audiences who were born in the era of technology. I saw “Last Call in the City of Bridges” as a fast read that still takes the time to make one wonder where technology is taking humanity.
