I read this in 1997 and when I look at it again now and then I can remember every sentence. How is that possible? It's like the complete opposite of my experience of Woolf. Not making a value judgment -- I love both -- but how do you imprint sentences for so many pages so deeply into someone's memory. I really enjoyed this book, too - the first late-stage Roth I ever read, so it's hard to compare it to the others that I read later on and totally loved for their generosity, accessibility, intelligence, humor, audacity, everything . . .
