I loved this book for most of the story, which is epic. At some point, however, I lost patience with the author's gaps in time--each section takes place seven years after the previous one--even when he fills in the important details later.

“Novel-writing is not so much a profession as a yoga, or "way," an alternative to ordinary life-in-the-world.
