Does this make me some sort of shill? Sorry if I sound defensive! But please, for my sanity, only do this as a last recourse. I am aware that such guides already exist. So a reference to something that appeared in the third chapter of Part 2 will appear as 2.
I have avoided actual page citations, as I cannot guarantee what edition of the novel you are referring to, which would make pagination fluid. I personally read three different versions of the book, and am fond of the Viking paperback edition. I hope that this guide is helpful in navigating the novel. I have intended to outline the nuts-and-bolts of what happens in the story, while offering my own commentary on what those happenings mean. Obviously a book of such breadth and complexity invites a wealth of approached, when it comes to interpretation, and appreciation.
This is just my stab at it. There are other stabs. There are likely even better ones. I will probably update this guide, if only to address hinky formatting issues, typos, etc. I will likely not bother to note such minor revisions. If anything more drastic is added, or subtracted, I will note such revisions on another page on this website, which I have not yet created, because I have not yet revised anything.
When such revisions are implemented, I will revise these sentences, accordingly. This guide is free to all. Please do not feel obligated to do so.
But if you do avail yourself of the option, well, thanks in advance, eh? All material in this guide, including the cruddy illustrations, but excluding obviously?
