I didn't phrase my question correctly. Why call the whole book Reservoir 13? I realize that the number 13 is in other ways, but I don't see the significance of the title in relation to the book. That's really my question. Thanks anyway, Paula. ; ))
Oh, I see. I just assumed it was the one adjacent to the town, nothing deeper than that. The reservoir was the setting for several of the scenes. Naming the book after the reservoir helps to tie all those disjointed stories together. He could have named the book after the town I suppose, but that wouldn't have been as suggestive.
