'i was coming anyway, i just needed some air and to think'
'there you go with that thinking again.' his tone suggested he might be about to playfully ruffle her hair. he didn't. he didn't have to. she felt she'd been ruffled anyway.
original bliss - a.l. kennedy
-as expected i finished the bat tattoo, i had anticipated this would happen, so i brought original bliss with me as well. i've been slowly working my way through a.l. kennedy's back catalog, making this the second of her short story collections that i will have read. i always have to remind myself to take my time when reading kennedy, she has such a way with words that they really need to be taken in rather than speed read as a quick thrill.
-as for the bat tattoo, it actually took me by surprise. ok, i wasn't entirely sure what those last 30-40 pages would hold, but the scene where the two of them go to the museum of art at the was wonderful. coupled with this, the digs at the modern art scene that hoban makes with this section are particularly funny!
-i neglected to mention one slight down side with the bat tattoo. while the characters alternate from chapter to chapter they are all first person. this can make it a little disorientating at times, the identity of "i" continually changing as it does.
