I'm reading "Try Dying," and enjoying it very much. I've noticed several instances where Tyler, main character-lawyer-turned private eye, sometimes speaks in "gut-rot' cliches, like, "belly up the bar," and others. Yet, many times I've stopped to reread sentences that are beautifully original--so, I'm thinking the cliche-speak is for characterization.
I guess to be blunt, how do you get away with the cliche's? (by the way, they are entertaining.)
Thanks,
Vicki
