I read Ed King by David Guterson. I was expecting something emotional and dramatic and understated like his other books, Snow Falling on Cedars and East of the Mountains. Instead I got a comedy based on a 5th century BC myth. I don't want to say which myth this book is based on because when I figured it out, it was a real "Aha! Holy Crap" moment for me. So now I know, Guterson is more than a dramatic novelist. He can be as funny about Washington State as Carl Hiassen is funny about Florida. Although not what I expected, this was a good book with many interesting characters.
