Uhhh - wow!
I almost didn't read it after the "plop, plop, plop" bit at the start, but when I scrolled down I was mesmerised by the conversational science. Learnèd (I might have the accent back to front) but chatty. A delicate balance expertly executed, imho.
If I have a crit it's over the dialogue which seems to replace some thinking, in the same way as it does in a film or, more often, television script. In prose, you have the unique luxury of exploring a mind from the inside, and, fwiw, I like to read those explorations. But it's really more a niggle than a crit. I loved the rest. |
