It's been years since I read Moon Tiger. Your laser-sharp analysis makes me want to read it again, slowly, paying attention to how she achieved these effects. I don't think I would have noticed much of what you've pointed out, so brilliantly. I particularly like this: "short words from which all the ordinary chatty interpolations ......have been trimmed". To read a sentence and see what has been left out, and why, is a great skill. Thanks for this!

This has really inspired me to read Moon Tiger again. Thank you.
