I think I asked him a question like this in my interview. St. Clair was the hardest to read, but he was very well written. Great post! I think I asked him a question like this in my interview.

I have that same tendency to go off into a narrative in my head - a writer thing perhaps? - But the narrative is thick and textured. Heim is straight forward and Sis is easy for me because having been widowed young, I know the burden of being thought strong and wise when it's simply not that simple. I didn't really see Dickie as a main character though. I was a bit annoyed to have spend time with his pov. I suppose though that the whale was a main character too, so why not Dickie. I am not quite finished. Tomorrow probably. I would like to say that you are a very good writer. The book is good. It has meat on its bones. Not fast food at all.
