Yeah, I’m increasingly baffled as to why this won the Pulitzer.

99 pages to go. After this, I’m rereading The Overstory, which actually deserved the Pulitzer. I’m sorry, I know Oscar Hijuelos’ win was monumental, but this is not good.

This book really doesn’t need to go on for another 110 pages.

Page 176 is when I went from, “Eh, I’m not sure how to feel about this book”, to, “Okay, here we go! Now I’m really liking this!” It feels like the author decided to stop fucking around and get down to business. Also, all the descriptions of clothes? Done INFINITELY better than Evelyn Hugo. Screw you, TJR, you’ll never be as good as Oscar Hijuelos.
