Zero patience for this author. Zero. Maybe I’m just too old, but I doubt I would like her work even if I were younger. I can’t stand her characters—who are depressing and uninteresting with ugly lives— and her fragmentary writing style isn’t my bag either. I see no beauty or wisdom in the work.
I truly don’t get the to-do about Rooney. I’ve tried three of her novels and have never succeeded in getting very far in a single one. I understood that Intermezzo was supposed to be different. It wasn’t—for me, at least. Aversion therapy has not been successful.

Ha! That makes me smile.
