In general " Glory" is my happiest thing". " The fun of " Glory" is.. .to be sought in the echoing & linking of minor events in back-&-forth switches which produce an illusion of impetus; in an old daydream directly becoming the blessing of the ball hugged to ones chest or in the casual vision of Martins mother grieving beyond the time-frame of the novel in an abstraction of the future that the reader can only guess at even after he has raced through the last seven chapters where a regular madness of structural twists & a masquerade of all characters culminate in a furious finale although nothing much happens at the very end
- just a bird perching on a wicket in the greyness of a wet day". (Vladimir Nabokov)."
