Wow. Great story. I loved the intertwined viewpoints, the variety of voices. It's hard to pinpoint a genre, or style, or even an ultimate resolution to the story. There are as many questions as answers, I think. It feels both real & surreal at the same time; I sometimes felt an effect not unlike standing in a hall of mirrors, wondering which one thing was real, what was a reflection, what was a reflection many times over? Overall, an enthralling way to present a narrative (though it had a few weaknesses in parts). I need to ponder this one a bit longer & let it all sink in....
