Ellington Boulevard: A Novel in A-Flat by Adam Langer

This has it all...real estate boom in New York, hippie parents, rich WASP parents, rich, poor, self-absorbed, a great dog, a clarinet, endless jazz references, did I mention the real estate boom, gentrification, the suburbs, off-off Broadway, a great dog...did I mention the dog
Almost as good as the dog in The Art of Racing in the Rain
If you missed it the conversion of a "rent-controlled apartment" a jazz musician...A-flat
