This first part is far more restrained than anything in The Savage Detectives, and it's making the inevitability of The Part About The Crimes all the more unsettling.

McEwan is a better writer than I had expected.

"Guilty" likely because it can be damn mean.

Alex is on page 30 of 160 of Autobiography of Red

I really enjoyed the first fragments. I'm almost wishing it was all in that style. So far this is greatly exceeding my expectations for a kind of inverted Pale Fire. Carson may finally be the one to throw me into poetry.

My Ulysses joke was greeted with blank stares today at work. Maybe Joyce wasn't writing for elementary teachers after all...

I've decided to do a mini-marathon of big-books before the year is out. On order as of today: Life A User's Manual, Take Five, and 2666. Farewell Terra Nostra.

Is it just me, or did Take Five just take a huge jump in price on Abe Books?

Joy has a very singular style, which is growing and growing on me. She is teetering on the brink of being a new favorite. Maybe the next book of hers I read will clarify my feelings.

This book has had a higher concentration of "holyfuckilovethis" moments than anything I've read since, I don't know, reading Borges for the first time two years ago.
