For the 2018 Read Harder Challenge: “An assigned book you hated (or never finished).” I never finished this in college (maybe assigned for a “Core III” English class...?) I do remember reading a biography of Lowry, which must have been how I managed covering the topic for class. At any rate, this is a heavy duty book, and a trick to appreciating it is to read the whole thing and then read the first chapter again.
Difficult dated reading. The story is lost in endless parenthetical remarks. There are online guides that can clue you into the many references throughout the book.
