After sticking with this one through the first 3/4 I skimmed the last bit, like, it's really not going anywhere, it's not going to improve, you're still going to randomly italicize four emotion words in the middle of this paragraph, okay.

It's about illness and family and writer's block, and also it's not. Everything is fragmented. Nothing goes anywhere.

But now I can say I have completed the shortlist for the Tournament of Books, although I will always resent that I didn't just skim through this one yesterday so as to finish in February. Ah well.

Carmel Hanes Sometimes I truly wonder how books make it to the short list. And I know I'm not alone in that!

Marilyn Boyle-Taylor Thank you, Jenny! I’ll now take it off my TBR list. So glad I didn’t buy it at this point, although I do like some of Graywolf’s innovative stuff.
