"The cheekiness continues, beyond the bathroom humour of the main premise, by presenting his data as if it were a medical procedure: first observe a patient’s symptoms and then determine the causes. Except this semi-scientific methodology relies on Doctorow’s experienced diagnostisms, not even testing this hypothesis out with other authors but boldly stating in footnotes how his claims are true because he says so." — Sep 07, 2026 07:44PM

"The extended flashback of Shimamura’s first springtime encounter with the yet-unnamed bathhouse geisha blends past and present, purposefully so, as the winter vacationer seem out place whatever the setting might be. And yet he notes her habit of note-taking on novels - take notice Goodreads enthusiasts - as a waste of effort, even as the rest of this book seems to be begging scrutiny by his unfavourable assessment." — Sep 17, 2026 10:14PM

“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.”

“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.”

“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.”
