Only on page 87?
Too much re-reading passages like graffiti spray painted on the sides of box-cars on poison trains.
Hell.
I remember everything I read last night.
Like it was branded on my brainpan.
The writing in this lean novel is action-poetry.
People killed & they die in a kind of Sam Peckinpah waltz-time beat.
You worry how the writer is gonna carry it off.
So much better than as a reader I deserve.

I read the Kindle edition back in 2013. I decided to purchase the trade paper edition a couple of months ago & started reading it for a 2nd time tonight.
Uniquely brilliant writing.
Even better the 2nd time around.
