I love the fluidity in Erickson's narration, how the prose dances through each character's life like flowing water. The vignettes, per se, are so human and poignant. I could keep reading this forever.

"He had eyes of a blue that vanishes with infancy only to return a lifetime later with old age; in all the years between, the blue journeys to some unknown place, presumed dead and, upon homecoming, is received with some resentment as it lays out a treasure of sights the eyes can never understand."

Has not gripped me in the same manner as Days Between Stations and the few pages I've read of Arc D'x. And yet, a handsomely written and well-realized book. I adore Erickson's brand of surrealism.
