It was absurd to think that things were held in place, are held in place, by a web of words.” One of those books you pick up and can’t put down and then wonder how it ever escaped you.  That some MAGA-school board member somewhere hasn’t tried to ban it for the name of the town (Fingerbone) is, I think, a testament to Robinson’s subtlety 😉.
