      <![CDATA[What rings true is the protagonist's estimation of himself and his capabilities, versus Ana and hers. It's a nice summary of the kind of realization that comes at the end (or after the end) of a relationship you've discovered you are unequal to, and realize is your loss.<br /><br />But that little moment of truth seems superimposed on the character -- not in his character.

      <![CDATA[Yeah, I haven't read much Wolff either, but I can't imagine his reputation resting on this pretty fair sliver of a story...

      <![CDATA[I don't know... it maybe suffers a bit from the imitative fallacy, right: where, for example, the prose is boring because the character is supposed to the a boring person.  But I'm right there with you on the point you make about the story picking up.  I think it's ultimately a pretty good little story, except that I don't think it's either Wolff's best, nor do I think that it's a particularly stellar example of a short-short.  Then again, I'm a moron and Wolff's a famous writer, so... uh...
