I just can't do this anymore......
I'm finding it very difficult to trudge through the meandering thoughts of the 4 (was it 4? 3? it could have been 300 and it wouldn't have made a difference) protagonists as they move their narratives towards some kind of a climax or conclusion. or so I assume, because I do not know and think never will.
But to be honest, this failing could be mine alone – I've never been very good at processing the stream of consciousness way some choose to write, and other writers like Woolf or Beckett have been failed by me before so...
I'm just gutted because I really liked A Man Walked Into the Room. Oh well, maybe next time.
