I've been making my way through the short story collections and I just finished reading Print the Legend by Daniel O'Mahony from A Romance in Twelve Parts and I am completely baffled by it and lost.
I did enjoy it but I can't make any sense of it.
An American Charles Dickens has been... created by the Faction to stop John Gault (or the idea of John Gault) from marrying off his daughter to a member of the Celestis or something?? And they reside in some sort of idea space of America that the Celestis own??? Or want to own??
The cenobites are involved?
Charlie turns John Gault into a shift? Or the celestis turn his granddaughter into a shift?
Frankly it's quite frustrating trying to put it together. It makes me feel kind of stupid cause I can't figure it out. It took me over an hour to read it because I kept stopping to re read and try to understand what it was I was reading.
Has anyone else read this story recently? What do you think happened? What are your thoughts on it in general?
