I Think It's True What They Say . . . Dreams? Trains? Dreams About Trains?

Raw and sorrowful, this little book follows the sad life of the protagonist, Granier, in turn-of-the-century Idaho and its environs. We see his melancholy life unfold in a series of vignettes, some of which are just plain kinky and disturbing. And in a book just 116 pages long, well, that seems like a lot. Since the main character is an absolute angel, it seems like we're getting a glimpse into the author's inner turmoil, to me. So while his writing is crisp, his plotlines aren't my style.
