Whenever Everett reaches an impasse, he conveniently has a dream, recollected in detail that Freud would admire. Attempts at plain speaking frequently result in a piling on of cliches: Everett knows an object "like the back of his hand"; women have "impenetrable" eyes. Exclamation points detonate with the flatness of dropped light bulbs: "How warm the air was!"; "How his father talked...
