I had to give up when the navel gazing began about the psychological impact that losing his golden ticket had on the writers father. Especially when it was seriously pointed out without a hint of irony or self examination that a big part of the problem was the guy would get lonely, phone up the dedicated booking hotline and chat with the operator, book shit loads of flights and then either cancel them the next day or forget to do so and not turn up.
Tried reading that, found the tone so smug and self-congratulatory that I had to give up.
