A Buyer's Market: A Novel (A Dance to the Music of Time, Book 2)
Book 2 of 12 in Anthony Powell's epic A Dance to the Music of Time classic. The story continues as Jenkins, now out of school, negotiates the complexities of the social world. Widmerpool plays a pretty large role in this story - mostly as an example of what not to do when invited to a party. Similar to the way the characters in this novel seem connect and then disconnect with each other, I find my interest waxes and wanes as I listen to this story. There are parts that I find amazingly funny, descriptive and vivid and then there are times when I find my mind has wandered in a direction other than this novel. Although the narration is excellent (Simon Vance - how could it be anything but perfect?), I am curious if this story requires more concentration than I am giving it in audio. Maybe I should read book 3 in print or follow along?
