I had Broch’s Sleepwalkers on my bookshelf for more than a decade, taking it out on occasion to thumb through only to put it back with a “someday, yeah, someday when I get a nice block o’ time…”. Yeah, well, we know about that phantom block of time. An old paperback when I got it, the book literally fell apart as I read it—sorta appropriate considering ol’ Hermann’s theme of the “disintegration of values”. And oh, what a read it was! Yes, amigos, definitely worth the wait.
