Roy is like a little rushdie to me. The only way to understand the story is to mind the details. But there is no shorttage of ashtonshing details, and because of this you can read a line like, "Rahel's new teeth were waiting inside her gums, like words in a pen." And not even remember to think how much you like it. This is very distractin for me, to read something this bright. I am also interested in the way Roy writes as if shes writing one long prose poem. She indents new paragraphs to say one liners like,
Not old.
Not young
But a viable die-able age.
She also capitalizes terms as object-things. Like Rahel opens the window to get a Breath Of Fresh Air. (and told to close it when she was done) I am very interested in her style. So instead of quoting a passage here I showed the aspects I liked. My favorite passage was the spitting woman on the nyc subway.
