>Glad to see you read _White Jazz_, . . . [b]ut what
did you think?
-- I found the style offputting at first, stream of
consciousness maybe,
but who actually thinks like that? Then once I got into it, I
found it
only occasionally annoying (that sense you sometimes get that
somehow you
know better than the writer what word should go where). Great
story,
though, and I was wondering whether the other books in the
series were
written in a similarly difficult style.
>when I'm old and gray, I'll figure out what the heck
they meant. Though
I suspect, in Forster's case, the answer will be
"Nothing."
-- As a defender of Forster, I will say that he is a little
thin, but I
am supposing you might be reading the wrong stuff in a
survey, usually
_Howards End_. You might try _A Room With a View_, though you
need to
bring your Edwardian sense of humor with you, or _The Longest
Journey_.
Woolf requires no apology at all.
