It’s been almost 19 years since I read this book for the first (and only) time. I was fairly young when I read it, and remembered very little of it (outside of a few funny moments that had embedded themselves in my memory, and a loose idea of the general plot) – and as such (much like Gass’s The Tunnel, which I read around the same time) this has long been marked for a re-read in my mind. In fact, I picked up a copy of it around four years ago to do just that, and finally decided it was time.
