I'm reading Intermezzo by Sally Rooney and finding Peter's chapters a slog. I'm around 100 pages in and I understand – I think – that it's meant to be chaotic, to reflect his work or his mental state.
But it's so disjointed and scatty I find myself losing interest in what's happening.
Rooney's style of unpunctuated dialogue isn't helping either.
In Ivan's/Margaret's chapters, I can follow it easily – and the story is more my style.
Does the writing shift at all for Peter's chapters?
I really want to love this book as much as her others but it's quite tedious deciphering what is dialogue, subjective/objective narration.
