a stunning achievement, I suppose
characters true to life, if you like that sort of thing
intricate plot unspools with effervescent clarity, although eliciting the occasional nap

A SENTENCE BY WILLIAM BOYD
November 23, 2015
It made her wake with a jolt and she saw that a wand of afternoon sun had squeezed through the curtains and warmed her neck.
I really like that ‘wand of afternoon sun’ from Boyd’s Restless.

Advice from a choirmaster often lauded for his merry disposition –

MILDRED, THE INFORMATION GATHERING PLATYPUS
November 21, 2015
Mildred, the Information Gathering Platypus, waddled into the swamp, gathering information as she went. Water density, insect count, and slop distribution were among the items she tallied and tucked away into the folds of her efficient mind. She paused in alarm when she noticed a cream colored 1948 Studebaker automobile hovering nearby.
‘Here now,’ she said.
‘That’s right,’ said the Studebaker. ‘And not only am I here now, but I’m here then, and I’ve been authorized to offer you a ride to Serendipity. Care to accept?’
Mildred weighed a life in the swamp gathering information against a ride in a shiny new talking car. Without a look back, she rode off in the Studebaker and was soon known as Mildred, the Platypus With The Nifty Flying Studebaker.
