Status Updates From Night Departure; and; No Place

The problem with thinking too much is that in the end you never do anything and you always look suspicious.

Finished Night Departure, moving on to No Place. Wartime Bove feels quite different from early pre-war Bove. Between this and Quicksand, the narratives are more compelling (simply through their existence?), but his narrators are less charming, consumed as they are with their very survival.
