Actually, spoi...I did it just for you, Chris. <br />;-)<br /><br />Actually, spoilers aren't really possible here. It's a character- and relationship-based story. The "internal action" drives the plot.K. Z.

It's nothing complex or heavy, but for some reason I really became submerged in it -- especially the character of Ned.<br /><br />The novella does have a quirky structure, though, which I suspect will draw some fire. Although the story spans forty years, its most significant parts (in my mind, anyway) come at the beginning and end of that period. So they're the ones I focused on. The intervening years aren't ignored but <i>are</i> compressed.K. Z.

I really am looking forward to reading this. <br /><br />This part is just marvelous: <br /><br /><i>As I watched her hit the floor again, like a drafting compass with a broken hinge, I could almost feel my testicles parting company and landing like finials on either side of my pelvis.</i><br /><br /><br />And the dancers at the bachelor party? Worst job ever. I felt really sorry for them. And the whole situation with Ned and Oliver -- very intense and complicated. I still think the title is one of the best ever. :)Average Readerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03955137026396047753noreply@blogger.com
