All the best novels are about one thing: how we go on. The characters must survive the fallout of their own cowardice, folly, denial or misguided passion. They squander what matters most, and still they pick up the pieces. I've been there and, clearly, so has John Dufresne.
This from NPR about Mr. Dufresne's seminal work, "Love Warps the Mind a Little", a novel I thoroughly enjoyed, although the ending was quite somber. Wrapping up yet another Murakami tome, "Norwegian Wood", before reentering the athletic arena and Born to Run (as recommended by VBAer EJ).
For those of you that are interested, here is the RCVman YouTube link that gives you 90 second video samples from each of the eleven RCVs currently available. If you still want to ask what I have been doing lately, this should answer that question admirably. It is how I go on.
