I've heard, though, that The Yiddish Policeman's Union is different.

Once I'm in the flow of a specific authors style I tend to start skimming long descriptive scenes when I'm more interested in the outcome then the work the author put into that paragraph. I'll have to give your method a try. Hell, maybe it'll even get me through Lolita!Sarah Joycehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11116130581597537480noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4178357988504785712.post-76674407354058529892010-09-21T18:14:12.062+01:002010-09-21T18:14:12.062+01:00Great way to describe this fantastic book - the fa...Great way to describe this fantastic book - the fact that it works on multiple levels! I usually hate alternative reality fare, but this was fantastic, because, as you said, it felt so real. And again, I could agree more about usually skipping the praise for an author's prose - if s/he doesn't write great prose, s/he wouldn't get published! But Chabon's a step above. I've never tried the reading out loud idea, but maybe will now.
