Ughhh!Ĭonnor, As for the homophobia in the story, is there a particular incident in the story you're referring to or the story in general? And then much of it in stream-of-consciousness form to boot. An entire book filled with uncomfortable domestic verbal-volleying that would put George and Martha of Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf to shame. See Now Then by Jamaica Kincaid, is one example. It was borderline for me, at times I thought it was a little much - never overkill, however -but if I'm comparing it to some other books with husband/wife squabbles, this one doesn't come close. I won't go deep into the story because I know readers are still reading, but there appears to be quite a few reviewers who were unhappy with the verbal fighting between husband and wife. Some of it was so hilarious I just about dropped the book at times no kidding.
Priscilla/Beverly: curious to get your opinion on this book.Ĭonnor: I loved the witty banter between Barry and Morris as well. I've finally got my busy things out the way and can now respond quicker.
