Virgil Wander 4. Want to Read saving… Error rating book. So Brave, Young, and Handsome 3. Did you feel this way about all your novels, or is that feeling particular to Virgil Wander because his name is your title?

One thing that happened repeatedly was that crucial scenes in the first version looked utterly different the second time round, which led to different outcomes, partly because there were new characters involved, and partly because Virgil himself was so altered from that first-draft protagonist — his manners, his means of self-defense in social situations, his whole way of responding to people set the narrative on a different course. Once it became the tale of a damaged man mending, the voice clarified straightaway.

The early chapters came fast and all the gears worked. Of course there were still bumps in the narrative but I could see how to work them out. Virgil gets a chance to start over after his accident, which a lot of people wish for. Both those things happened. And somehow Virgil seizing the day — which he does reluctantly, because of being tired and sore and unbalanced and forgetful — is a catalyst for change in the lives around him.
