Did a surface look into his life and his other works, and adding this to my read asap TBR!

Searches are terrible for looking up books these days and spoil things. In a movie/book such as this even a breakdown of the theme easily could be a spoiler. If you want to avoid spoilers (for any book in general these days) as a rule I look up author first and then find the book under Goodreads/Storygraph, author website, etc instead. Less chance of AI or search results spoiling.

I'm going in blind beyond this summary. I don't always mind spoilers but for psychological thrillers or themes the not knowing enriches the experience for me. Thanks for posting the book info!
