Slow going. Have to return it to the library

This book is very choppy. I’m on page 180 and am bothered by the feeling that there are three voices vying for attention. In this section, Jack has asked Max to talk about his past in a pogrom in the Ukraine. It’s a long long tangent. I wonder how it fits.

In other places, the voice seems to change from flippant to calm to poetic in a single paragraph.
