liked it

everything and everyone in this book is a device. sterile. well constructed, like a bunker.

are nouveau roman and la nouvelle vague the same thing but novel and motion film, respectively? because it feels like a godard movie without the girl. Alphaville without anna.

the blurry transitions in narrative perspective are fun.

oh, what's up with "revolver"? repeated a hundred times. is that the translator's mistake? even has a picture of a revolver in the cover art of the edition i borrowed. the gun in question has a clip, jams, and can utilize a silencer. that's a pistol.

Moved to Library Thing adaorhell If a pistol appears in a story it must be fired. Maybe not so if it's a revolver?


Moved to Library Thing adaorhell Chekov uses the word ''pistol" and "rifle" interchangeably.


Moved to Library Thing adaorhell in the quote, not the story.


Eric Cepela this gun is fired.
