In the second part of Trust Exercise, a character states that a play she's read is good, or that she read it quickly and she's still thinking about it, which is the same thing, right?
I read the novel quickly, and I'm still thinking about it, but I'm not sure what that means. I appreciate certain well-written characters, even after acts two and three make it clear those characters are not necessarily who act one claimed they were.
In fact, act one tells a story seemingly straightforward, while act one rewrites that story deliberately, while itself telling a story with as many holes in it as the first.

While act two alerted us to the deception of act one, act three suggests it did so while continuing to use roles in place of people, that act two kept up not only the false names, but the false multiplication of characters.
Is the novel, in the end, the story of an entire class, or of five people, or possibly just two?
