A review by chaydgc
Parade's End by Ford Madox Ford, Robie MacAuley

2.0

I am so surprised not to love the book. I get period writing and love the period but this was a slog. Literally took me 3 months to get through 905 pp and I skimmed some. For me it combined the worst aspects of modernism and romanticism. I tried to consider as an exciting experiment in form but remain unconvinced. After 30 pp I had to complete the rest on principle, and defer other reading.

Some one recently acquainted me with the concept of 'sunk costs'.

I'll have to think more about that in terms of my own compulsive behavior, and Ford's argument.
