is on page 555 of 1040
I'm so boooooooooooored .
And frustrated. There really was a great 300 page book in here that Ellmann sacrificed for what feel like an unnecessary vanity project. The prose style though distinct and sharp, cannot sustain a 500 + page novel as the formula is extremely repetitive. At this point my friend & I are starting to see how she approaches a page and its so predictably bland. The lists have no flavor anymore
