I finally finished reading "Fictitious Persons" today.
And while it was nearly impeccable on the small scale, sentence and paragraph and chapter, it has issues with the larger narrative structure. Namely... there really isn't one. Things just keep happening until there's nothing really left to happen. Admittedly, they happen in a logical order, mostly as consequences of previous events, and they include all the things that really needed to happen -- I can't think of anything that was outright missing. Still, it didn't quite satisfy.
So, still second to "Veritas" in my book.
Pronounced "shy guy."
