So Long, See You Tomorrow by William Maxwell is one of those
novels that is evocative of another time, yet has a “modernist” structure. A “broken” narrative, where subjectivity and
faulty memory create a Citizen Kane landscape.
Truth is written with a little t.
Despite this the novel is old-fashioned.
The world whose passing it laments is so far gone it is hard to feel bad
about its fate. Everything passes: why get so upset about it.
