A Calling for Charlie Barnes

Disappointing. [b:Then We Came to the End 97782 Then We Came to the End Joshua Ferris https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1442800496l/97782.SY75.jpg 2926759] is one of the more memorable books I have ever read, but this one was just another Updike-ian story about a crappy white guy who cheated on all of his wives and chased one grand dream after another. Yes there were some meta touches and a surprising ending (that really wasn't much of a surprise). But altogether, I wish Joshua Ferris had written this as a journal for himself to process his relationship with his late father instead of inflicting him on the rest of the world.
