it is a very good book and one of very few ive read in a while that really induced a new mode of aesthetic experience in me. this was basically my review (other posts in thread contain spoilers)https://twitter.com/chromalisque/status/1119020085207691264 …

aulacothele echinoidea @chromalisquearbitrarily? 'at hazard', specifically. 'Hazard' being the proper name of a dice game, borrowed from French(!), about which the young protagonist, preoccupied with names, asks, to be told: "Mean? Why, should it mean anything?

its very much stronger as a mystery than netflix show 'dark' in this respect, close attention and rationality give you all sorts of things that are never explicit in the text, and you can keep digging to the point you worry it may be bottomlesshttps://twitter.com/chromalisque/status/1232141204634009601 …
aulacothele echinoidea added,
aulacothele echinoidea @chromalisquethe 'mystery' element is maybe underwhelming, i dont think theres a ton i missed on a first watch (but id need to rewatch to be sure) and everything i caught via missable hints was confirmed explicitly before too long (though i did guess the strangers identity relatively early)Show this thread1 reply 0 retweets 0 likesShow this thread
anyway in my dream i think i got distracted by a mobile game where you walk different dogs and never solved the mystery
