I had a hard time reading this book. It was just...well, a nonstory. It wasn't a bad nonstory. It just kept going and going. When I put it down, it didn't really call me back to it.
I didn't not like it. But I didn't like it either.

this book was sooooooooo depressing. the author managed to make me feel annoyed by someone grieving the loss of a child, which is pretty remarkable. i only kept reading it because in my head i was picturing his house as my new house and it made me excited!

Hollis Clayton is struggling. He's struggling to come to terms with the death of his son 2yrs ago, he's struggling with his writing career but he's not struggling with his fondness for "Jack" (of the bottle fame). His wife abandons him for the summer exclaiming they need time apart, to think. What follows is a book about the minutia of Hollis' life, his days, his phases, his scrutiny of life for story ideas. Some of it is painful, some of it is gentle humour. This book grows on you.
