I really enjoyed the quirky use of imagery. The description of the chair that made the man large because he fit it was a very different way of dealing with an age old description necessity. The funny quip about the old house looking good like an old actress with a now rich surgeon really made me feel the age while seeing the pretty new paint. I really "saw" the house size when it was compared to an older brother in a family picture. This author has very unique ways at looking at things and his metaphors are startling, fresh and vivid because of that.
