I think you are correct in so far as if you read many of his stories it does seem that he uses the same narrative style over and over-- I thought his short stories were okay but I wouldn't recommend them to people, mostly for similar reasons.

That Catholic sentence is awful, thankfully there aren't in Catholics in BoTN.
