Against the Grain Again
The Further Adventures of
Des Esseintes
Notice the main character is named Des Esseintes. I think I prefer Clark as a name. Seems simpler. I am afraid, meanwhile, with my future life under a current cloud, I can’t be doing with affording the time to carry out the necessary homework for reading and reviewing this work properly. Please forgive me. If Clark is anything to go by, I am sure this new Connell will prove to be a wonderful wonderful book.
Against the grain again… Desadence, ah well. Sorry.
“The sound above was like a drum. It traversed the ceiling from left to right and then returned from right to left. There was a pause, a bang, and then a repetition.”

Of course, I may change my mind, depending how things pan out eventually!
