You're dead right - his books are usually fairly claustrophobic places - the humour is in literary conceits - a bit hard to welch out - especially when you're in 1st year of French and the damn dictionary is blistering your fingers. Do you think they should've translated that one as 'The Venetian Blinds' ? :-> Sorry Hugh, I’m again making excessive use of that phrase from Woody Allen - I usually do so in a sarcastic vein.
