Man missar inget omvälvande ifall man inte läser Morgon och kväll, men man går helt klart miste om någonting stundtals vackert och djupt relaterbart. 

Intressant form med dess upprepningar, där alldagliga konversationer och meningar mellan två karaktärer som lätt skulle drunkna i sin, till innehållet, allmänna och vardagliga karaktär får sin styrka genom just dessa upprepningar.

Upplever initialt delar av språket som poetiskt, där Fosse vid ett par, tre tillfällen på ett väldigt skarpt vis sätter ord på sådant som är igenkännbart från vardagen men som lätt bleknar i relation till allt det andra i samma vardag.

Verket präglas av en sorts mogen naivitet inför liv, men framför allt död. 

Det är inget fantastiskt verk, men helt klart läsvärt i sin något suggestiva ton som en följd av språket snarare än dess handling, med ett sorts stream of consciousness-grepp om huvudkaraktären som gör att det är lätt att gå sida vid sida med handlingen.
