Yesterday I stopped at a bookstore and found myself completely unable to remember the name of “The Curfew,” a novel reviewed in last week’s Brieflier Noted. “There’s a puppet? Or, like, maybe a kid? On the cover?” My awesome clues didn’t get the salespeople very far, and I walked out instead with “The Tiger’s Wife.” So basically, I still win.
But “The Curfew” is next on the list. I even wrote the title down on a scrap of paper and stuck it in my wallet, for I am old-fashioned like that.
