Hmm, Tim, I guess that depends on how you are defining a beginning, middle and end. I will agree that much of Menashe can read as fragmentary--but I do think there is something to like about that, when the fragments are intriguing. Of course not all of it works, but I find myself reading him the same way Freda does--as a starting point for a mediation.
I will look up Kay Ryan on Google and see what I can find. Thanks for the suggestion.
Tom
