« He guesses that David, hearing his first name too many times, understood. In war movies, when a soldier pisses blood and the sergeant tells him he's going to be okay, Jim, you're going to shoot when, Jim, that's never a good sign. (p 42) »

« Book, novel or collection of 11 short stories? 11 as the number of passengers we follow over the pages. An intense jubilation in the first half of the book, a mad desire to know the rest. I even caught myself highlighting some incredible passages of virtuosity and depth. But the second part is.... There, no more words. The remake of Dr. Follamour by a Tarentino on Xanax. It goes all the way, but without common sense or the verve of the beginning. And as is often the case, it is up to the reader to make an end. If this book is a collection of short stories, then I loved 5, hence the mixed rating. Related for the first half »
