Interesting trivia: The condition Baru suffers from in the final chapter appears to be based on a real case, described in the "Eyes Right!" chapter of Oliver Sack's classic book "The Man Who Mistook His Wife for a Hat". A woman suffered brain damage, which caused her to lose all understanding of the concept of "left". She would only eat what was on the right side of her plate, and didn't understand people when they told her that there was more food on the other side. I just finished the book, and will probably have some more to say when I have had time to think about it. SimonChris fucked around with this message at 16:40 on Oct 19, 2015 |

http://www.sethdickinson.com/2015/10/01/the-traitor-baru-cormorant-read-along-chapter-1/ I just checked out the author's web page, and he has started a commented read-along of the entire novel. Looks really interesting.
