Man Walks Into a Room by Nicole Krauss
4.0
Beautiful and full of life. Memories of Samson's childhood, seen underwater.
I thought Krauss's writing really fine. Flipping through pages at random:
A garden party of the adults: "The sound of the afternoon passing slowly, according to a design beyond his grasp."
Occasionally surreal: "Then he turned and made off down the hall before Samson could club him with the jawbone of a donkey."
Painterly: "The sun dipped behind a cloud and the old man’s ears dimmed and went out."
