Nincompoop is the first novel that I have read penned by the author John C. Picardi. Protagonist of the story is a 24 years old gay man Leonardo. Story started in October 1994 when Leonardo landed a job at an East Village bar named Bar Plato. The owner of the bar was actor Jack Fresh. Leonardo has recently moved to New York and his friend Julia helped him to get the job at a bar.
Before landing this job, Leonardo was fired from a cater-waiter job and he couldn’t even go back to substitute teaching because of his bad experience at it. Leonardo was tense about whether Jack’s wife Mara will hire him after the interview. Mara saw that Leonardo is weak and boring. She told him that she will fix him and his job is confirmed. Rico, Leonard’s boss on the other hand warned him that Mara is not as nice as he is thinking. However, his friend Jack is a great person. Leonardo is also an aspiring writer and Jack has shown interest in reading his work. Grab a copy of this book and find out for yourself what happens next.
I liked the way the author introduced the setting, milieu (environment) and the principal characters first. Story is quite interesting. There are many characters in the story. Even though I rarely read novels with so many characters, the way the author has written each character is amazing. I loved the plot. The title of the story is suitable. I like to strongly recommend this novel to other readers.
