 Really spectacular. Could have done without the play at the end as it doesn’t add much, but I do think it’s intrinsic to the makeup of the novel (and some of the footnotes are delightful). The end of the introduction had me scratching my head for a second but as I worked my way through the play I think it made more and more sense. I absolutely love AP’s style and this sort of storytelling is EXTREMELY up my alley.
