May I point out, though, that the dinner party at the end of the novel takes place in Toronto (my hometown, as it happens), and not Chicago? Chicago is where Larry lived earlier, during his marriage to Beth; Toronto is the city he moved to later on, and where the novel ends.<BR/><BR/>By the way, I don't know if you've had a chance to read "Swan", one of Shields' earlier novels, but I think you may enjoy that if you're interested in dialogue.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01396043440867841441noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26765798.post-1155001858924117702006-08-07T21:50:00.000-04:002006-08-07T21:50:00.000-04:00Wow.
