Quote: It was interesting to me that all the men I discussed the book with related to that character more than the other brother. They all felt dead sorry for him.
Yes, I felt dead sorry for him too. But I related more to the younger brother (Chip?). In my earlier life I felt like I was being crushed by my "potential." Lots of potential, not much actual. I could also relate to his strong but uncomfortable identification with his father. A lot of times I feel like I'm the only one who understands my dad.
Enough about me! Good book!
