This isn't the sort of book you're supposed to be ambivalent about. This is the sort of book that you're supposed to love or hate. I love the idea of it, the shape of it, but the language just didn't speak to me. I wanted it to be beautiful or true or punch-my-gut familiar-I wanted it to resonate-but it only ever got close, sometimes.

This book is written almost as a series of vignettes, small snap shots of domestic life that reveal the relationship the main character has with his wife and his son. There's not much of a plot in a traditional sense, but the moments are captivating and poetic. Along the way you come to know and care about the characters.
