Well Jolly, welcome back. Been wondering where you've been. As far as the story, nice and angry and haunted and funny. This particular passage made me laugh out-loud:

'You can’t wait for the next Harry Potter. You’re astounded by Rowling’s command of the language. What a gift! She’s like Faulkner, but good. The story’s not that great, and the characters are completely ridiculous, but the absolute control over every sentence!” '


Nicely done. I want to mull on it a little bit before I comment further but you already know what I think ~ great stuff as always. :)
