So far, I can't help noting that I liked the first half better than the second; I was disappointed that Cross's (Heilbrun's) alter go dismissed feminism; and the author/character Kate is wrong to dismiss Marshal McLuhan's Media is the Message. How we communicate, the media we rely on for information and truth IS the point.
It's still fascinating.

I finished Part 1, started chapter 6 (more than halfway), and no one has died. Nevertheless, I am loving this novel for the way it takes me back to college and university life in my time. I was a freshman at the U of Washington in 1970 when this book was first published. I recall being aware that "elite" private schools were quite different from my experience. In Psych 105, I was among the youngest. We were a mix.

On the other hand, she could in these early pages be describing the University of Washington campus as I remember it, though she isn't, of course.
