The daughters of Simon Lamoreaux : a novel von David Long

Very detailed flow of words. A little lengthy at times, but perhaps that was necessary to convey the feeling. It would be interesting to further analyze Long's style of writing and how the themes connect, as well as the way he chose to end this novel. The reader has several possible outcomes, yet is left with an amount of resolution also.

The Inhabited World von David Long

Long was apparently tired of being a writer's writer, so he read some Anne Tyler to try figure out how to be more accessible. So, what we've got here, imo, is blah blah blah *L*iterary pretentiousness about people who refuse to take responsibility for their own happiness. At least Tyler's ppl we can care about. These just disappoint me.

The Falling Boy von David Long

David Long is a master--a master craftsman of sentences and a master storyteller. He's proof-positive that the outlines of the story don't matter as much to make a good read (the story here is pretty simple: about a transgression in a marriage), as it does how the story is told. Each of the characters here is fully-fleshed, so that in coming to know them, the reader comes to feel what they do. Fully flawed, they become very real.

There's wisdom here, too. I usually give my books away after I read them. This one is a keeper.… (mehr)

The Inhabited World von David Long

I really enjoyed this, very thoughtful meditation on suicide and the transient choices we all make. A good love story, too, if you don't require a happy ending.
