About this title: Doctorow's 1980 novel is experimental in style and structure. The story--an exploration of the validity of the American dream, set during the Depression--is told not in a straight line but in concentric circles--like ripples on a lake.

"Wonderfully written and sometimes overly strange, but even the strange bits seem to loop together and make a generally sensible story. I was always fascinated to read on and find out how some seemingly unrelated bit would be revealed as integral to the story and the already existing characters.
Love the detail, Doctorow writes so well, in my opinion, that one could just read a paragraph and feel satisfaction."
"I never thought I'd like "Ragtime." But I did, I really did. So I thought I would love Loon Lake, but I really didn't. I kind of hated it. I kind of didn't finish it."
