A collection of sharp images retrieved "from the very edge of memory," Stop-Time anatomized experience rather than judged it, setting forth episodes of boyhood - the thrill of scavenging an abandoned building with a best friend, the brutal beating of a helpless fat boy at boarding school - from a detached, almost amoral perspective that held out to readers the persistent illusion of breaking through adult sentimentality to see life as it "really" was.
Body and Soul by Cooper, Rand Richards / Commonweal
