"In what feels like the longest chapter ever read in my life, Doctorow explains the symptoms of the twenty-first century sickness best summed up with the repeated phrase “there is app for that” that normalizes greed and injustice. Even for the multinational corporations that claim to value privacy and do their darnest not to “be evil” it always ends with a scam benefitting the few. Yet will the cure be worse?" — Sep 24, 2026 08:02PM

"Strange how much the story changes when a leading character finally gets a name, and Komako earns her agency when her name appears in print. She is a mountain geisha, probably not by choice, but nevertheless confident that her skills are being put to good use. Shimamura, the Tokyo waif named on page one, continues to be a passive observer piecing out the details of life in this still unnamed mountain hot spring town." — Sep 26, 2026 09:38PM

“Cicero smiled at us. 'The art of life is to deal with problems as they arise, rather than destory one's spirit by worrying about them too far in advance. Especially tonight.”

“When Don Quixote went out into the world, that world turned into a mystery before his eyes. That is the legacy of the first European novel to the entire subsequent history of the novel. The novel teaches us to comprehend the world as a question. There is wisdom and tolerance in that attitude.”

“This is a work of fiction. Still, given an infinite number of possible worlds, it must be true on one of them. And if a story set in an infinite number of possible worlds is true in one of them, then it must be true in all of them. So maybe, it's not as fictional as we think.”
