Reader, get to work!

James Buchan is a master at depicting the fractured nature of life and consciousness. Bits and pieces are brought together but never seem to illustrate a complete picture. This book is ostensibly about some back channel negotiations surrounding an Arms control conference. Buchan uses this story to examine one man's mind (an intelligence operative) as he tries to get his mind around European history, his personal history, and his heart. The reason I titled this essay "Get to work" is because the reader must pay attention. A great writer is showing you something so don't take your eyes off the text. Not just a story but a taste from the river that is history and one man's consciousness. A book for grown ups. Thank you.
