How To Be Good, Nick Hornby
Another novel about a writer's midlife marital crisis (see
The Beauty of the Husband), but written from
the spouse's point of view, not the writer's. Much interesting stuff lightly
handled; division of roles in a marriage, difficulty of switching, thought
vs. feeling, Faith vs. Works, and how to be good. I also like the writing,
which is light but not plain: echoes of Coleridge and Woolf used for meaning
as well as sound.
So wrote clew in
Fiction (20th c.).
