...aware of the sequence of the 77 "code letters," or nucleotides, in the DNA of the gene, Khorana painstakingly "assembled" the letters one at a tune in the proper order to produce a synthetic unit. The rabbit gene is at least eight times as large, containing about 650 nucleotides strung together in a sequence that scientists have not yet completely determined.

Their solitary thoughts form separate sections that are strung together like so many pieces of reality, doing away with chapters or divisions based primarily on action. Drabble succeeds with this difficult method, and she needn't intrude, as she occasionally does, to inform the reader of what she is doing or to comment on a character.

Pieces like Hankchampion (1960) are inseparable from that context. Its salvaged wooden beams, bolted together and strung with chain, are a homage to the plain speech of early industrial architecture. There is also a strong connection to abstract-expressionist painting.

There are a couple of sharp secondary performances-by a Philadelphia pug named Jack O'Halloran as Moose and Walter McGinn as a strung-out musician-but the rest of the cast is mostly good faces with no roles to match...
