First and last for The Moviegoer

Sigh, for the sake of completeness recording first and last for this book that I was semi-indifferent to. Loved the prose and Percy's descriptive powers. Not so much into anything else. Unable to pick up on Catholic folderol and thus was happily unable to be annoyed by it.

First:

This morning I got a note from my aunt asking me to come for lunch.

Last:

I watch her walk toward St. Charles, cape jasmine held against her cheek, until my brothers and sisters call out behind me.

Ok, the lovely prose it not so much evinced by the passages above but my malaise is such that I cannot continue.

(malaise reference would make sense if you're read this. If you haven't, don't bother.)
