book club
ok, so book club commences with supper at 6:00, with a discussion of the book the four spirits while we dine on barbeque and slaw.....then on to centre the author's readings from said book, and others, one would presume.......i have already noted that i found the book tiresome, a sentiment that i am loathe to being up this evening.....as my bookclubers have slogged through my past picks (woolf and colette< to name a few).......which they found tiresome.......i will say, however, that the name of the character darl reminded me so of as i lay dying that i couldn't get that plot out of my head.....and i will have to admit that the story-told-by-many-observers was better told in that classic novel than in this club pick.......ah well.....maybe i won't say anything...just listen....didn't i promise to do that more in the new year?.........

ok, so.......i mentioned my asilaydying flashbacks to the author when she signed my book, and she said that she had, in, fact, used faulkner's classic novel as a model for her use of multiple perspectives.....how about that?.....and i didn't even have to mention that i finished neither the current novel nor the previous one (ahab'swife) because i found the prose tedious...but having heard her read from her works, i might just give ahab's wife another try.....having taken the time to read moby dick and all......
