Unfortunately, in this book Tosches est success. Tosches, a generaUy admi- knows that he can never please his father, who is inflexible, domineering and exceedingly distant. Fairly to do things his own way, separate himseU from his father's rigid ideas from the Senior's own father, who ambivalent toward him, John dislikes confrontation, yet he would tike strange, singular art, to the point of tends to favor gimmickry in his writ- about scrap, cost effectiveness, efficiency, many of them passed down ing, and so we have endless sen- tences complete with seti-laudatory, juventie declarations like, "and that's had a weU-articulated vision of scrap. What is occupying most of John's carefuUy calculated pursuit ofa healthfanatic jogger) provides intrigue, but it's a sterUe enterprise at best, and John desperately needs his estranged wife, Elise.
