    I particularly loved this passage:
-funny, that was a point pretty early on when I thought to myself, "this writing is excessive and "show-offy."

    and the earth and the grass seemed to talk, no, not talk, argue, their incomprehensible words like crystalized spiderwebs or the briefest crystalized vomitings, a barely audible rustling, as if instead of drinking tea that afternoon, Norton had drunk a steaming cup of peyote.
-Hemingway may have written "long sentences," but he would have shot himself before he would have written that. .... oh wait, too soon?

Thankfully, I trudged on because the characters did begin to flesh themselves out and although the writing was a bit heavy handed, I became engrossed.

-More to come.
