Background Notes for the Incurably Curious
Background Notes for the Incurably Curious
I’ve always been drawn to the odd corners of life, the things most people don’t bother noticing. This novel is probably just my way of venting all the strange bits of knowledge I’ve picked up over the years.
And while it’s fiction, I like to think I’ve put in enough hours and enough research to slip in the occasional bizarre fact, the sort that reminds people just how strange reality can get.
Below are some references, links, and a bit of background on topics that may appear throughout my novel.

I think I might be the first person reckless enough to pull this novel apart in search of a meaning beyond the obvious.
Why?
Honestly, I’m not entirely sure. I just felt pulled toward it, like something in the pages wouldn’t let me walk away.
After reading the book once, I could feel another layer beneath the surface. Something Antoine was trying to say in his own strange, quiet way. Two stories running at the same time, meant for two different kinds of readers.
As of writing this, I haven’t found any other source online that breaks the novel down to its bones, so if you want to explore what I believe is the deeper layer, start reading The Shade of Us and uncover the hidden meaning alongside Magnus.
