Nuce summation. I'm just about to post my review of the trilogy and since you've done a close reading, tell me, please, why do you think the husband in A Separation asked her not to tell anyone they were apart? Never explained. A curiosity.

The combination of of the personal with the review of an author whom, admittedly, I've not read, and who, according to Jay, handles the unreliable narrator or "Jamesian observer" with skill and intrigue. As Jay reviews, he does what reviewers rarely, do: he reveals the self and questions of his own identity, and I suspect that perhaps he mirrors what Kitamura has achieved?

In any case, well-done, good sir.
