character index
Pages I have actually finished. My rule for who gets one is roughly: can I say something about how they are constructed that is not just a description? A lot of characters I like enormously are not here because the answer was no.
Grouping people by affiliation stops working properly somewhere around volume 10. I have kept the original categories rather than reorganising the whole site, which is the sort of decision you make in 2009 and then live with.
hole
- Caiman — the lizard head, the hole in the world
- Nikaido — the anchor, and the thing I was wrong about
the en family
- Shin — the mask, the hammer, the joke that is not one
- Noi — the best argument the book makes
- En — mushrooms, and institutional horror
stubs / not written yet
- Ebisu — started this four times. Hardest one. I keep producing something sentimental, which is exactly wrong for her.
- Kikurage — overdue, mostly because "what is it for" has an answer I find slightly upsetting.
- Fujita — notes exist, in a notebook, somewhere.
- Dr. Kasukabe — needs a reread I have not done.
abandoned
- Two pages I started in 2010 and deleted, because on rereading I found I had nothing to say that the character had not already said about themselves. Leaving this heading here as a reminder.
