The flow between pov’s makes it hard to get to know Pabst as a main character, though it could be argued that seeing him through other’s eyes provides a clearer picture.

His constant bewilderment and decreasing mental capacity makes him an unreliable narrator, and you’re left waiting for a glimpse of his genius that has made him so famous and in demand.

really enjoying already, though all of the mentions of sachertorte are making me miss Austria

interestingly the chapters move between character perspectives as though you were watching a film
