“I’m wrestling with the angels,” I said.
Unfortunately, I have a lot of trouble sleeping — I have been one acquainted with the night, as Robert Frost puts it. The Jacob story in Genesis has always struck me as a metaphor of insomnia. It’s an apt affliction for fictional detectives, who tend to get more weary and disoriented as the plots progress. McAnnis, of course, is also scarred by his experience at war, which is as distressingly common now as it was then.
