Gnomon by Nick Harkaway
4.0

Do I get a t-shirt that reads
"I survived Nick Harkaway's Gnomon" ?

This is one very dense felt of a novel: multiple narratives matted and compressed into an unlikely fabric that somehow holds together, though you think it shouldn't. It's a convoluted book about books, about fiction, about reading, writing and remembering. It's a 21st Century Don Quixote as sci-fi murder mystery.

It's worth a re-read, or would be in a universe with unlimited stamina.
