Review:
The incredible amount of detail layered into this book reminded me of Housman's poem, "Yonder See The Morning" writ large. The endless detail, however, builds a mat of reality that binds the characters to the world from cold tears on the bottom of one's chin to wiping crumbs from one's mouth with a detailed description of a white on white napkin.
"Revelation is the way things make sense when we are wired for some type of knowledge but not yet switched on." I found this statement remarkably insightful--I keep coming back to it. It feels like it is broadly emblematic of the book where revelations crystalize repeatedly and this wandering through some pretty basic lives is an enjoyable path to walk.
