| Read and sampled the audio version read - with voice acting virtuosity by the author, such that I switched to audio. Captivating! | |

| First rating less than a full, throbbing FIVE for my favorite living fiction writer. First 50 pages were heavy and difficult reading -- portraying an aging, eccentric narrator showing off his academic resume and literary chops. That firmly establishe ...more | |

| I read The Piano Tuner years ago and it was one of my most memorable all-time literary reads. This genre, which I want to call pulp-Pablum satire, was the last thing I expected from him. Shame on me for not taking the time to scan the 'read inside.' ...more | |

"This novella is brilliant- of course it was written by a psychology professor. What better exploration of human behavior, survival instincts, and desperation for human connection could there be? 5/5"

“I hate when people ask what a book is about. People who read for plot, people who suck out the story like the cream filling in an Oreo, should stick to comic strips and soap operas. . . . Every book worth a damn is about emotions and love and death and pain. It's about words. It's about a man dealing with life. Okay?”

“Writing and reading decrease our sense of isolation. They deepen and widen and expand our sense of life: they feed the soul. When writers make us shake our heads with the exactness of their prose and their truths, and even make us laugh about ourselves or life, our buoyancy is restored. We are given a shot at dancing with, or at least clapping along with, the absurdity of life, instead of being squashed by it over and over again. It’s like singing on a boat during a terrible storm at sea. You can’t stop the raging storm, but singing can change the hearts and spirits of the people who are together on that ship.”
