Status Updates From Passageren (The Passenger, #1)

Lots of digressions. The book almost is a single digression. A friend turns up for a lunch with Western where he elaborates on a life out of the ordinary. After that, another friend turns up and they discuss state-of-the art physics. Quantum mechanics, string theory, S-matrix theory, bosons, quarks - and the people behind the theory. For 30 pages. McCarthy sure was an erudite man. No mention of the missing passenger.

Did not finish

Difficult to get into the story. McCarthy's writing fitted The Road perfectly. The setting spoke for itself. Here, it hinders my approach. Especially the hallucination parts of the sister put me off. Maybe a good representation but nothing I want to spend the time to feel it. In Bobby's parts, I repeatedly get lost who is speaking. The passenger challenges my limit of what I can handle in English language.

Insane

This is oddly written. Not sure if I will finish it.
