This portion when the narrator is with Lisa is so frustrating and only serves as a screeching halt to my progress. It's just not as interesting or compelling as what has led up to this and reads poorly. Am I the only one that feels this way???

Honestly, a specific portion of this text resonates heavily. Cole writes of a moment in which Julius, the narrator, is jumped by a gang of black teenagers. He thinks to how he only wish he could feel as he did before being physically harmed and in that we do not think of this feeling unless we are in an experience of pain or suffering.

This morning I was utterly hungover and could not stop thinking about this.

Picked up again after almost a year of not continuing it. I'm absorbing the second half much better than the first - love the Said/Orientalist conversation!
