This is one of those books whose title is far more appropriate than immediately realized. Lydia is a translator for the Logi. The Logi are aliens who have come to earth. The story takes place in a stylized NYC. Stylized in that after global warming flooded a lot of NYC the mayor froze the city in a Disney-like state of unreality, in essence making it a glorified theme park. The Logi are telepathic but only very few humans have the attributes necessary for training as translators. Lydia is assigned to Fitz, the Logi Cultural Attache.
A murder occurs, Lydia becomes involved and discovers a conspiracy. She ends up collaborating with Madison, a
Logi that she feels is condescending.
The drunk part comes from the impact translating for the
Logi. The mental effort leads to a mental
impact that is surprisingly like alcohol drunkenness.
A thought-provoking and entertaining book. I recommend it.This book may have been received free of charge from a publisher or a publicist. That will NEVER have a bearing on my recommendations.
