C of L49 More overarchingness re picaresque-like satire of: POSTSCRIPTUM

[Mark Kohut]

"The story [Malcolm] begins in picaresque fashion, with Malcolm being introduced in successive chapters to a range of unusual individuals. Malcolm is first presented to us sitting on a bench day after day, waiting. Just waiting."

That is what I remember most about the plot, Malcolm sitting on that bench---expectantly. Expectantly. (As another source on Malcolm singles out)
