Just got directed here from Hilary Plum's website. Looks good, and yeah, Our Country Friends was kinda with worst. He is someone I need to remember to get at the library, if ever, tho I think I'm done forever with him... It's fiction for the elites who need their hands held.
And Franzen's Crossroads felt like a draft that if he weren't Franzen any agent would say, this needs work. I'm feeling a little cranky about dudes with big swinging books right now bc reading The Blizzard Party and it's like, NO ONE has ever told this guy to wait, or defer, or reconsider, or step aside. That sort of I'm-a-guy-and-I've-never-been-challenged-repeatedly-and-so-I-expect-and-find-open-arms-and-success-whereever-I-go,-even-when-I'm-digressing-into-the-expensive-1970s-fishing-gear-of-wealthy-manhattanites-on-Montauck-for-8-pages,-still,-you're-going-to-just-let-me-get-away-with-it,-aren't-you? thing. I'm halfway thru wondering, how do I make it thru the rest? Soulless.
