Falconer by John Cheever

1.0

Did Not Finish.

Frustrating. I love Cheever's short stories, but this was so far from those as to be almost unrecognizable. The writing is accomplished, maybe even very good, but the narrative is barely even there. It reminded me a little of Our Lady of the Flowers, which is an extremely tough read, but at least has the saving grace of beautiful, poetic language. I read 1/3 of this and just felt like it wasn't worth the effort.
