#337 Solid Wood- Ann Beattie
A famous writer, Jacob Foxx Greer has died. An old friend and colleague comes to visit his daughter and wife. He brings his
sister, a former student and lover of Greer’s.
It’s a quiet, contemplative piece that makes the reader
steadily try to put the puzzle pieces together. It seems at times that all the
other characters know something more than the narrator (and thus the reader).
There are questions left unanswered and should probably stay that way.
The paragraph where the narrator is struggling to see the
check, and has a flash memory caused by the pen-light is exceptionally written.
