Horror's Greatest Hits
Jon W. asked this question about The Passenger (The Passenger #1):
So...what do y'all think was the deal with the missing passenger in the plane? The book seems ultimately unconcerned with the truth and why the government is after Western (which imo is a thematic feature, not a plot failing), but I'm curious what other readers might speculate.
Judith I wondered about the missing passenger & some kind of government cover-up too, but soon realized this book isn't about the plane crash or its aftermat…moreI wondered about the missing passenger & some kind of government cover-up too, but soon realized this book isn't about the plane crash or its aftermath. As you say, Western's role in it & seeking the truth about it doesn't seem to matter; he dwells mostly in the past, & pulls us into his world of regret, heartbreak, & paranoia,...and maybe that's all there is.
