Now that Edward St. Aubyn has completed The Patrick Melrose Novels, it's possible to see the shape of his enterprise: the emergence of Patrick Melrose's consciousness from abused child to a witty, self-destructive addict, and finally to a devastated, but incipiently wise father.  We discuss the shifting perspectives from book to book and decade to decade.
