The Librarianist by Patrick deWitt

2.0

After so many great books, I was overdue for a "so so" book. The Librarianist was very so so for me. The story revolves around Bob Comet... a retired librarian(ist). Really... I did not get the "ist" at all. Anyway Bob is a quirky character. He stumbles upon a retired persons home and begins "volunteering" there. The story flashes back to when he met his wife and his early years of marriage... which was sadly depressing. The story then flashes even further back to when he was a young child... when the novel entirely derailed for me. It was just a very disjointed story for me however, ymmv.
