October has begun, along with our traditional month-long family bedtime reading of Roger Zelazny's A Night in the Lonesome October, his last novel, and my favorite of his. The book is broken into a chapter for each day of the month, which makes it great for doing a chapter a night and following how the story progresses over the course of the month.
The characters in the book are all references to existing character in fiction and life, and while some are obvious, others are not. Christopher Kovacs has an illuminating essay on this topic, perfect for *after* you've read the book.
