comment |
Self-Deprecation: As well as several sentences that exist purely to apologise for the condition of the story, there's also one that refers to Franz Kafka's The Metamorphosis as a much better story, and one that refers to the author as an "indolent goof-off" for not buckling down and actually telling the story of Billy and his mother. |
