“There are mumbled greetings of, “Awright mate”. Fists are pushed firmly into the pockets of trousers or anoraks. Bass player Nick O’Malley and guitarist Jamie Cook prefer to make close and detailed inspection of the furniture than make any sort of eye contact. Alex Turner on the other hand is an inveterate fiddler with keys or phone while he talks. Otherwise he has the slightly unnverving habit of staring at you unblinkingly with his dark brown eyes, like a curious young horse. Thank goodness for the Arctic Monkeys’ secret weapon: drummer Matt Helders, the closely shorn, chirpy raconteur who could stroll on to any TV set and anchor a game show without any preparation whatsoever. Without him I fear that most Arctic Monkeys interviews would be glorified staring competitions.”

“A choker of perfectly cut scarlet rubies circles her neck, putting forth a vague impression of her throat having been slit. The overall effect is slightly morbid and incredibly elegant.”

The Night Circus, Erin Morgenstern
So, tell me if I’m being monstrously pedantic here, but here in one is my main problem with the writing of this book. Disingenuous first person aside (though boy, after a while, that mess drags), that second sentence is so unnecessary that it ruins the effect the first had. Which was exactly the one she wanted to produce! Rubies, throat slit, SOUNDS PRETTY ELEGANT AND MORBID, YOU DIDN’T HAVE TO TELL US, ERIN.
And that’s what she does every time she tells you anything aesthetic whatsoever. THIS IS BEAUTIFUL THIS IS MAGICAL THIS IS SPECIAL, like, lay down, Erin, you’ve given us eyes to see with, let us use them.
Maybe I’m being pedantic, but telling something you’ve already shown makes no fucking stylistic sense. It kind of beats all those careful details into sand, actually.
And I’m not being pedantic. Get outta the text, Erin Morgenstern.
