I'm having a hard time sticking with this episode. I've started reading it on three occasions, and ended up abandoning it each time. I am going to make another effort to get through it before the weekend. Hope I'm abl…

I believe I read that Milly was 14 or 15, and that Rudy would have been 11 had he lived. When Bloom mentions six years, I'm not convinced he's talking about how long he's been married. He mentions that he "got the job …

Love your theory on reading stream of consciousness writing, Stoepbrak. I think you're on to something. I am rather enjoying reading the book thus far - not actually trying to cross the stream but floating down it on a…
