Right, so that's clearly a monster of a book, if more admirable than enjoyable. Doesn't seem right though that the Inspector is willing to engage in magical thinking, despite the many layers of reference.
Have learnt many new words. Involuted. Cartilaginous. Etc.

Sort of disappointed following the first chapter's brilliant prose. His Greece stuff is OK, I suppose, but Kyriakos is an obnoxious smartass like all other narrators, it seems, and the characters surrounding the Inspector are mouthpieces and very mouthy indeed. Also, how come the Bat-Computer is geared towards semantic analysis?
It's started to feel like a book of short stories retooled into a novel, but it pulls.
