Query: bizarre

This is not so much a novel as an artifact. Much of it is practically incomprehensible due to a great deal of English-public-school vocabulary that few people living will be able to understand. There are pages of descriptions of "footer," including sentences such as, "The last ball he placed in front of short-leg for a single," and "The next ball was full pitch to leg," but there are almost no details of the boys' academic studies or of the rest of their lives. The writing style is very terse and choppy, and the boys have no personalities. The jerkiness, the lack of explanations, and the lack of any character development at all, make reading this book a bizarre experience.
