And thank you so much for describing the peculiar quality of the book and why someone would like just this sort of thing. I do and have another reason for being grateful that you do and said why: I just wrote a long section of my novel that is very much in this style. The protagonist is just home from the hospital and can't do much of anything, and is watching life unfold around him in just this fashion, and I was worried all the way through that I was writing the most boring and self-indulgent thing ever...but my model was "The Summer Book" and a little bit "Moominvalley in November," as beacons of It Can Be Done.
