Fine writing just not my bag.

This was frustrating - I loved [b:The Sisters Brothers|9850443|The Sisters Brothers|Patrick deWitt|https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1291999900s/9850443.jpg|14741473] and [b:Undermajordomo Minor|25089757|Undermajordomo Minor|Patrick deWitt|https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1425914522s/25089757.jpg|44778737], and this left me cold.
