    A ghost of a book.
    Neither very memorable nor very lucid.

    really enjoyed the book. max seems to have been a bit of a bastard tho. very entitled.

    and yes, the suicide and lesbian twist really gave the book some much needed weight and perspective

    I greatly enjoyed "the sea". I like the lesbian twist at the end. I definitely want to check something else out by Banville. And I'm looking for suggestions.

    Note: John Banville also writes as Benjamin Black. The one work I could find under this pseudonym is a crime novel called "Christine Falls"
