Something Happened is a crushing book. It is an unrelentless, crushing book. It left a shadow in my mind. Like LSD, you either have or you haven't, and you don't know which is better.I say that this is the most memorable, and therefore the most permanent variation on a familiar theme, in that it says baldly what the other variations only implied, what the other variations tried with desperate sentimentality not to imply: That many lives, judged by the standards of the people who live them, are simply not worth living.
