Thoughts on "Midair:

I really enjoyed Frank Conroy's story "Midair". I found it to be extremely thought provoking and introspective. The first thing I noticed was Conroy's point of view. The third person POV is really effective in this story. I liked how Conroy seemed to jump from one moment in time to the next. One of my favorite lines in the story is when Conroy describes Sean holding his father's hand, "His hand, wrist, and part of his forearm are enclosed in his father's fist." That line has much detail and I as a reader was able to put myself in Sean's position and really get into the story.
