Long Island Compromise by Taffy Brodesser-Akner review an old-fashioned maximalist rush of storytelling
Briefly

A kidnapping story inspired by real events unfolds in Taffy Brodesser-Akner's second novel, focusing on the wealthy Carl Fletcher and his family's turmoils in a generational saga.
The novel delves into the extravagant and tumultuous lives of Carl's children, Nathan, Bernard (Beamer), and Jenny, portraying their privileged yet chaotic existence cushioned by wealth.
Beamer's story stands out with drug-fueled orgies, bizarre self-destructive behaviors, and a fixation on kidnapping themes in his failed screenplay writing career, adding layers to the Fletcher family tale.
