Permanent Midnight
Some of the prose is a little in love with itself, but justifiably; just when I start to get annoyed by the more anvilicious parallel-drawing, he’ll switch gears and evoke a scene so vividly that I’m like, “Nice one. Objection overruled.” It’s good, but it’s bleak stuff; I had to read it in small doses. (4/26/04)
