what a beautifully tragic summation of one man's life with all its pursuits, failures, and resultant indifferences.
the book's rhythm was consistent and speedy - it reads as though it is, in its entirety, an epilogue tying off the loose ends of a series of characters with whom the reader has a long-established, familiar, and loving rapport.
very glad to have stumbled upon this book while simultaneously saddened that i hadn't heard of it sooner.
