| For a story so brutally, bloodily violent it's impressive that Evenson avoids making it gratuitous — the matter of factness is almost a kind of restraint, and the novel's most powerful effect for me was how inevitable the brutality seemed as the stor...more | |

Arrival City: How the Largest Migration in History Is Reshaping Our World
by Doug Saunders

“If I've learned anything at all from the river it's to let jarring events come and go, that such tiny disruptions have no more weight in the world than fallen leaves on the water. A few ripples, a barely audible splash, and the surface soon returns to order. To swim toward each intrusion, to fish out a leaf and to sling it ashore, only prolongs the disturbance.”

“This progressive effacement of human relationships is not without certain problems for the novel. How, in point of fact, would one handle the narration of those unbridled passions, stretching over many years, and at times making their effect felt on several generations? We’re a long way from Wuthering Heights, to say the least. The novel form is not conceived for depicting indifference or nothingness; a flatter, more terse, and dreary discourse would need to be invented.”
