'He had concieved, in that instant, an almost religious belief in the power of flight. Flight would save others from him, and him from himself. He would go where he was not known and wash himself in that unknowing.'

i loved this book! amazing and cathartic

[i_pod]

yes! there were some lines that so perfectly distilled all that brimming rage and despair and frustration. although on the whole i don't think it was as magnificent a work as midnight's children or fame.

fame..?

Isn't that Shame? And is the death of light, by any way, inspired by the abandonment of Malik Solanka of his past?

Re: fame..?

[i_pod]

yes, i meant shame.

and no that post wasn't specifically to do with fury, though now you mention it i realise it's quite similar. :)

and who is this?
