And the beat goes on. No excuses!
I'm reading yet another novel George V.Higgins cranked out. Its IMPOSTERS. The plot, in a nutshell is: a tv news anchor murders an old alcoholic who killed several people in a massive car wreck, the dead included the anchor's wife and kids. The librul judge gave the drunk 20 months in jail.
The first 150 pages is awful. Its awful cuz all the characters and dialogue and Middle Class, and banal. Beyond page 150 the characters and chatter are proletariat and interesting. I admire Higgins' gift for capturing people as they really are, but 150 pages is too much.
