Native is definitely an ensemble novel, hitting a lull when half the characters disappeared. Six characters interweaving desires fuel the plot and it slows when too many are absent.

Midnight gambling scene was mystical and pagan. Can really see how he influenced Lawrence (though Lawrence would probably build up some homoeroticism for such a scene).

Delightfully close to a Gothic novel. Passion, atmosphere, clever switchbacks. It's Hardy so I picture something bad will happen but it's a wild ride to get there. They should make a film with David Tennant as the Reddleman, the role suits him to a tee.
