"Notes:
(1) In what world does this pass for a pulp novel?
(2) Just a sampling of Chabon's maddening prose, spanning just three pages:
"...in a way that is meant to signify deep ratiocination..."
"...burning Conestogas have their effect on people's minds."
"He smells the sudden fear ... like caries of the teeth."
- It's this sort of arcane priggish locution that rankles my inured imperturbability!" — Jul 23, 2024 01:50AM

Notes:
(1) This is essentially the old "Who's Who" DC put out in the '80s, but modern.
- It's strictly a character encyclopedia. No places or things.
(2) Contrary to what the foreword and introduction say, I don't know how enjoyable this would be in discovering previously unknown characters.
- Being only facts and bios gets tedious. Though, it's great for looking people up." — May 22, 2024 03:50AM

“No murderer had before or has since caused such a sensation, passed so quickly into folklore or gained an image – top hat, cape and Gladstone bag – that is truly iconic: as instantly recognisable as Sherlock Holmes's deerstalker and meerschaum pipe, and as capable of conveying a meaning understood around the world – even by people who know nothing about the Ripper or what he did, or that he, unlike Holmes, actually existed.”

“There they stood, ranged along the hillsides, met
To view the last of me, a living frame
For one more picture! In a sheet of flame
I saw them and I knew them all. And yet
Dauntless the slug-horn to my lips I set,
And blew. 'Childe Roland to the Dark Tower came.”
