Roughneck

Another one that I read for book club. I enjoyed the artistic choices and how difficult conversations and topics were handled. The town the story was told in felt very real. I think it could have used a little more polishing. As one the people in book club pointed out, it would be nice to see more of the time between the past we flash back to and the present.- ex) why is everyone in town so forgiving of the disgraced hockey player. Is there more to the story beyond his fame in the past.

“You want some tea?”

Very simple yet incredibly moving (though I'm heavily biased towards stories that feature symbolic dogs).

Art A++ as usual.
