    Because then I’d never finish my masterpiece. /hj But more seriously, a lot of his stylistic choices are ones I try to not replicate in my own writing. The extremely detailed descriptions of food, clothing, woman’s bodies, etc. I love the story he tells but find the writing itself can be a chore to read sometimes, if that makes sense.

      I don’t write but I get what you mean by detail. Some books just go too verbose on the mundane.
