Reviews
A Hollow Middle
by rogerco on Tue 5th Oct 2021.
Well I enjoyed it, particularly some of the social observation beyond the immediate characters, but at the end of the day its a story about people trapped in their prisons of their own devising. Particularly nice that Benjamin is opted as a failure near the end. But inevitably it washes over him and the finale comes straight from the Panglossian advice in Candide.
