A quiet evening has ensued. I decided to read one more novella by Mutis before placing the book on hiatus. Ed is going to pick it up tomorrow and I believe I will give Night Watch a chance. There is much of Melville in the brooding nature of Mutis. Maqroll fascinates me, This may stand in contradiction to my pronouncement in the last posting. His leaning upon history as a meditation of reality is as inspiring as it is ultimately desolate.
