In this\nrecent work, Knight gives us an injured narrator (bullet injury to head),\ngames with memories real and imagined (caused by head injury), shifts in\ntime and space, vague conspiracies, hints of underlying logic but no clear\nanswers.  To me, this book felt like a homage to Gene, and alternatively\nreminded me of parts of TBOTNS, \"Peace\" and \"There Are Doors\".  I kept\nwaiting for Severian, the green man and Lara Morgan to show up."
