I rarely abandon a book, but am letting this one go. Overwritten—self-indulgently so.

Nearly all of my reading over the past three years has been related to a huge writing project: a biography of Marjorie Kinnan Rawlings. At the end of a work day, I can't bear to read anything more.
Among the "Marjorie books" I've read lately is Faulkner's novel The Wild Palms. It was the first of his Marjorie liked (some pretty big ones had come before) and I wanted to imagine why. I've added it to my list.
