chapter 3 ‘hit-the-spittoon’

chapter 2 ‘mercurochrome’ complete. such a vast, sprawling narrative in an unusual and gripping format. im hooked.

It took me 40 minutes to read a single chapter of the novel and I am bewitched. So dense and heavy, yet beautiful and vivid. The opening chapter focuses not on our protagonist, but rather primarily his view on his grandfather with subtle clues as to how this past connects to his future. I cannot wait to read more!
