A fable for adults. That kind of generalized, rounded writing really sucks the air out of my tires; not sure why. But the tale veers into some quite startling specifics as well. There's some anguish over relationships between parents and children, sex and violence, death and life.
3 stars—OK to have read another work by Hoban, and some decent sparks for rumination.
