The book is novella-length, easily read through in a day if not a single (extended) sitting. It is dark, and tight, and uncomfortably close. The studied reader is liable to be piqued by the author's name-drops, and they work well as signposts pointing you on to the conclusion, itself another beginning. It's the sort of tale that, like all the best ones, matters more in the "getting there" than in the particulars of its plot: "how it's done" is so much tastier than "what it was" - though what it is includes penetrating insight, criticism so sharp you don't quite notice its bite, and a profound (though implicit) challenge to a particular ordering of some societies.
