I read it all in such a hurry originally, it's like reading it for the first time. Ennis' enduring love for Jack as well as his evolving feelings for Ellery both come through loud and clear.

That's what I have always felt too, through out the entire saga

--- Quote from: MaineWriter on December 07, 2006, 08:09:15 am ---Another interesting use of the word "partner," this time from Chapter 17:
“You comin, Ennis?” Ellery looked at Ennis expectantly.
“You want me ta?”
“Yer my partner on this case, as well as bein an important witness and all that. Besides Pete likes ya. Maybe you can help me get some answers outta the boy.”
Ennis slipped off the stool, keenly aware that Bill was watching both of them, taking in every word. “Partner, huh,” Bill said, but Ellery had already turned and headed through the empty back room toward the stairs, Ennis, as usual, trailing him as he went up.

I'm behind in the reread and all... but this is good foreshadowing of Bill's jealousy/anger toward Ennis. Ironic, given that Bill is the one that brought the two of them together.

Creatively, as a novelist, writing within the "universe" of BBM, even though I had expanded it greatly into a new territory with dozens of new original characters, still came with a constraint. That constraint, in the follow-on tales, is not so onerous, and also alleviates some of the demand on time. But I yearn to do new things, in a venue and with fewer natural knowledge limits - to write once more about history and music, the modern world, and stop stretching my mind back to how things were in that long ago time of the mid 1980's, correcting for the way the world has changed.
It has been a wonderful experience - but not one I can continue indefinitely, no matter how much others desire it. It is simply not possible to do.
