...cigar with the reader?or a drink, maybe. Mr. Boyd does not use tobacco, in a literary way. His style is as impersonal as the river, and as grave. But, on that unlaughing surface, a boat is reflected, slipping down the river under a moon like a golden poker chip; people on board eating, drinking, fighting, making love?ladies in lace pantaloons?bad men with aces in their cuffs?all dead, long...
