This is as good as it gets folks. A book seemingly about everything - a book that, in many ways, is America itself, that doomed and evil monster.
What does it mean for us to encounter God? What does it mean for us to kill him? What does it mean for him to kill us?
Would love to write/see written an analysis of the novel using Deleuze's theory of agencement. Fascinating how many things can resonate together at once and be lit aflame by a slight change or new introduction.
