  • Detour is Michael Brodsky's first novel. It is the first person partly autobiographical account of an often bored film devotee going to Cleveland for medical school, making observations on everything in his daily life, either in a philosophical manner, or by comparing any given incident with some classic film scene, or both. Halfway through, the narration is interrupted by Steve's story, also told in first person. The novel eventually resumes with the original first person narrator, who finally decides medical school is not for him. According to one critic, Michael Brodsky was so taken with the cultural milieu at the Thalia Theater[1], a famous New York art house, that he wrote a novel about it. (en)
