Example text

Each chapter is from the first-person point of view of a different character, and they are often retelling, revising, and countering each other’s claims as they justify their lovelorn actions over the course of three sections (“Beginnings,” “Middles,” and “Ends”).

Pp. 88–89) Baxter also describes some of his visits with Maxwell, compares him to poet James Wright, and brings up instructive parts of Maxwell’s letters. The chapter ends on a note about Maxwell’s generosity: “At the end of So Long, See You Tomorrow, you feel that you have been given considerably more of what is precious to its author than is often the case in novels of many hundreds of pages.
