sinisterra

[Edward A Moore]

Thought it was neat that Gaddis named the phony doctor "Sinisterra" in
the book because in organic chem "sinister" means left handed and what
is the left but an imitation of the right (dextro)?

There is one assassin in the Old Testament who is notably left handed.
He is not properly frisked for a knife because they look in right
handed spots where he might hide one. I doubt the name is important.

 It is interesting to see how chance will play in this book. "No
Country for Old Men" had a lot of chance elements in it (the coin
primarily).
