I definitely understand. The reason I like Something Happened so much is because of how in-depth it is into Bob Slocum's life. It's an everyday tragedy of a common man; unhappy, unfulfilled, with all of his best years behind him. Like I said before, Heller is incredible when writing about futility. Having the climax two pages before the end of the novel made the novel for me. The novel ends where Bob's life ends (in a figurative sense).
