The table of contents is a cross section of a tree with a line draw through it with the dates.
So you go backwards from the future.
to the center and then you go forwards again and that's that's how it runs and she's only in the sapwood the living uh white sapwood not the dark heartwood so her story is that but we only see part of it you know because of course these rings run all the way around but we're basically like a worm that's eating through the middle of the tree so there's this constant reminder that
that we're actually just the act of reading a book that's made out of trees.
We're killing them.
And even our journey through the story is destroying the tree.
And we're holding this book that's like an artifact
that's got the tree rings down on the side where the edges of the paper.
So you're holding this artifact.
And you're starting at either end of the book with Jake's story.
And you really feel part of her and part of her world.
And then you're going in deeper into the tree.
And as you go further, you realize that you're holding this bit of dead tree in your hands.
It's been like murdered for your entertainment.
And, you know, and she's constantly referring to books that character and all the other characters as well have this love of books all the way through.
Murderers, the lot of them.
Yeah, but they're all just so consumed with pathos that, you know, they're not happy characters.
But just first that it's an amazing book.
It messes with structure so much that like you can't talk separately about characters.
You can't talk about characters without looking at the notion of time that the book establishes.
