Notes

It's unusual for a fiction book to have bibliographical notes--not unheard of, just unusual.

This book has over 15 pages of them. And the notes...have footnotes.

As much as I like bibliographies (in my nonfiction reading) and even with the joy I take in footnotes, for some reason this flurry makes me totally nauseous. But I can't figure out exactly why.
