Lazy, Stupid or Unknown
I’m reading “The Correspondent” by Virginia Evans. It is our neighborhood bookclub selection for April. I don’t like book clubs but I said I would participate in April and May anyway. I love this book! Here’s the problem. Either I’m too lazy, too stupid or I have an undiagnosed cognitive impairment of some sort because I’m having trouble keeping track of all the characters. The book is an epistolary work. Lots of letters to and from different people. I’m picking up the gist of all the interactions but there is a nagging feeling in the back of my mind that I should be keeping some kind of “cheat sheet” of all the characters and their relationship to the protagonist of the novel. I’ll push on and see how it goes. The cat just jumped up on my writing desk and is demanding my attention. Fortunately I remember his name.
I hope you find them useful, or perhaps even enjoy them.
