Latest novel is just out in English, House of Day, House of Night.

This is very interesting about it, because very rare: it-she -has five
registered copyrights on it, from 2002 to 2023.

The novel is told in scenes, episodes. So, I am thinking parts of it were
published over all those years. And finally “finished”, organized,  to her
satisfaction in 2023.

Here’s my unprovable reason that this is a Pynchon post: Pynchon from
AGAINST THE DAY seems a plundered—like one artist of another-work. Some
scenes and oblique allusions. And a section or two indebted to Bleeding
Edge (deep web—adjacent stuff)

One other main story thread might be V-like, V-adjacent and since it is a
thru-thread maybe from the beginning.

This unprovable, very dicey, supposed scholarship is how I entertain Myself
over the holidays while waiting for the grandchildren to wake up, lol.
