Wordless except for their often useful titles, and gray except for their startling bits of painted colors, these pieces fully exploit and usually satisfy our tendency to read narrative into every image that comes our way, a skill developed in no small part by watching movies.
They're normal, and yet often loathsome, and the peripheral characters in the novel -- except for an often-sneered-at sex worker friend of Charmaine's -- show equally little pure moral feeling or courage.
This gives golfers like Gary and Kris Bourque, who bought a 2,300-square-foot house on Course No. 5 last year for $350,000, unlimited play on six of Pinehurst's eight courses at no additional cost — except for an often-optional $33 golf cart rental fee — and no greens fees.
