Query: Mesmerized Hours

Reading The Republic of Wine reminds me of hours spent in reverie...one is engaged in the moment, able to recall bits and pieces of what may or may not have occurred, recognizing that one was absorbed but not quite sure why, and ultimately delighted to have had the experience/ I keep asking myself when I will reread the novel to gain a clearer perspective but anticipate that it will be years before I do so/ The repetition of the images reinforce the visual power of Mo Yan's words and help the imagination to conceive yet another cinematic moment...although it might be more suited to film noire/
