Great feeling for the feel of the ancient theatre. Seems like book is like a play -- Books I-IV being like 4 acts of a play. Dialogue is great! Anachronisms abound. Lots of modern theatre slanb and Anglo-Indian slang. I love the atmosphere.

Using sobriquets for the characters bothered me at first, but now I'm getting used to it. I see the narrator's rationale: : it's a secret memoir and he's disguising the names, e.g., Marius [the Mule-Driver]; Sulla [The Stain], etc. Narrator himself is called Ivory [from the white mask he wears in the women's parts he plays].
