60 pages in and I'm finding this a frustrating read. Whilst the content is interesting enough, the seeming cut 'n' paste of some paragraghs/stories lead to some jarring non-sequitirs. I don't need a strictly chronological approach at all but the jump cuts appear clumsy to me and are derailing my reading a bit. this may well reflect how Threadgill chose to tell the story to Hayes Edwards. Hopefully I'll get used to the chosen style as I read on. Whatever happens, I'm not crossing great grandaddy.
