Mr Breakfast: A Novel

Product Information

Breakfast is a beautiful musing on moments of personal choice, the big ones, the ones that are rooted in our existential crisis between identities of who we say we want to be vs the rules by which we choose to live our lives.

Among other things, Patterson is gifted with the ability to see in real time three different lives that are available to him. Breakfast is the latest from Jonathan Carroll, in which the author asks a familiar question: What would you do if you had it to do all over again?

Once he was inside, a low woman’s voice with a heavy Southern accent sang out, “Sorry, but we’re closed.

The book is disarming and, at times, heartbreaking — but does come across as reading as a collection of scenes, making it ultimately a bit disjointed. After a kidnapping, death in a train crash, and an uncomfortable prehistoric reincarnation, Patterson knows for sure what life he won’t be picking. Added to this humiliation were the looks of indifference, impatience, and even derision on the faces of people who’d come to laugh but did not. Graham included detailed descriptions of each photo which was good because everyone who looked at them just saw blank photo paper.The opening was promising, setting up the type of tilt-a-whirl, unbalancing ride I’ve come to expect from Carroll that is so often satisfyingly unexpected. Secondary characters are ignored until a scene requires them to assist Violet or to be killed in the endless violence that plagues their school. It’s about Graham Patterson, a failed comedian and a recently failed relationship who takes off on a road trip.
