Catharsis: When Patrick finally admits his child abuse, exhausted by hatred. When at the end of the third book he leaves the party and walks in his dress shoes over the snow toward a lake and sees swans launch, circle, and land again. In the first book Patrick is five, second book he's twenty, third book he's about thirty, fourth book he's maybe forty.
Kind of like Richard Linklater movies. Very good prose style, maybe a little to I think I would like that sentence more in Jane Austen than in a modern writer.
But I had a lot of page corners turned down anyway, and at other times the writing is nice and simple and effective:"They walked back and forth, pouring sea water into the sand until Thomas fell asleep in his mother's arms. In this compilation of four novels, there were moments, even chapters, of such daring, such innovation, that they took my breath away. An entire chapter devoted to the mind of a drug user, as he goes on a bender, was absolutely amazing.
The opening chapters, seen through the eyes of a small child, as he experiences his newborn little brother, almost brought me to my knees. And yet, chapters devoted to showing vain, insipid, shallow "toffee-nosed" Brits at a party seemed like the author shot himself in the foot--how do you portray insufferable characters without sounding insufferable yourself?
I will keep this book instead of donate it, which I usually do to books that don't completely captivate me , on the force of those splendid pieces of writing. They are like diamonds in a box of muffin mix.
