A painter loses his wife to terrorists, and struggles with his life in the aftermath. Except that this tells you nothing about the tone, pace, even the plot, really, of the book. This is the kind of subtle character study where I’m sure I’ve missed acres of meaning but I’m not sure where or how to find it. It did manage to be compelling even while very little actually happened. I’m not sure I’m doing much service to the book in this encapsulation. I bet you’d like it.

Previous Book: 39. The book of Samson. Next Book: 41. St. Lucy’s home for girls raised by wolves.

Juvenile Nonfiction is Joshua Neds-Fox’s blog v.3, internetted lovingly to you from Detroit, Michigan.

I’m worth $1MM in prizes. I am without excuse.

I’ve redesigned this thing a mere two times. This is its third iteration. It’s using WordPress, for the first time. This theme was adapted from the standard, Kubrick. Border elements prefacing the ‘comments’ were graciously provided by Barrett Stanley, from his 100 Erased Lincolns.

Try joshua, here at neds-fox.com, via electronic mail, should you want to get in touch with me.

I hope you’re happy.
