I have to go in the opposite direction from the last few posts. I feel
that reading this novel, The Mezzanine, is like slugging my way through
a bog of trite remarks and inane observations. I must confess that I am
only on the fourth chapter, but the slowness and unrewarding nature of
the narrative have been enough for me to decide that this book is not
worth it. I can't believe that I spent over a minute reading about why
this guy puts his socks on the way that he does. The Mezzanine has none
of the radience in dalliness that WN has, though it has its moments they
are far and few between.
