Journal Entry 1 by indygo88 from Lafayette, Indiana USA on Saturday, November 8, 2008
"The novel's narrator, Stevens, is a perfect English butler who tries to give his narrow existence form and meaning through the self-effacing, almost mystical practice of his profession. In a career that spans the second World War, Stevens is oblivious of the real life that goes on around him -- oblivious, for instance, of the fact that his aristocrat employer is a Nazi sympathizer. Still, there are even larger matters at stake in this heartbreaking, pitch-perfect novel -- namely, Stevens' own ability to allow some bit of life-affirming love into his tightly repressed existence."

This was one of those "I didn't think I already had it, but I did" books, that I picked up at a library sale. (cover art different than that shown)
