Thinking back on it, I distinctly recall NOT being sufficiently assuaged - and having walked over and stomped it, west side style.....
Len Deighton he ain't.....
btw, I am really enjoying having my suspicions about Morrison confirmed by those with experience........

Pleased to see that the phenomenon has been "named".........."Flyer"....
Because the list of books I must read remains so extensive, I don't take many "chances" anymore......
But I will never forget the frustration I experienced trying to read Tryon's Harvest Home...and the tremendous satisfaction when I heaved it at the wall....
I'm guessing you stick to paperbacks....

The VdL jibe is a cheap one, and I am sure I have heard it made against other women writters before. This does not stop Morrissons prose from being turgid, or her books from being flyers-with all good intentions you try to read them, but end up throwing them at the wall.
