koboldskind 's review for:
Gnomon
by Nick Harkaway
An extraordinary mindfuck. I always enjoyed Nick Harkaway's stories, but with Gnomon I'm also genuinely impressed. There are four stories (or five? or maybe six?) that all make sense for themselves, and then you find how they are connected... and just when you think you understand the shape of the whole thing you learn that they are connected in another way as well. And it ends up making perfect sense, and the clues what was going on where there all along.
Gnomon is in one league with great mindfuckery like [b:The Illuminatus! Trilogy|57913|The Illuminatus! Trilogy|Robert Shea|https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1386923913s/57913.jpg|813] and [b:Sewer, Gas and Electric: The Public Works Trilogy|71846|Sewer, Gas and Electric The Public Works Trilogy|Matt Ruff|https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1386923711s/71846.jpg|69565]. My only regret is that I have but five stars to give.
