It's fairly clear that you've patiently - mindbogglingly patiently - withheld a great deal of the narrative pieces in TSA up until this latter half of TAE series nears conclusion. What are some of the thematic arcs of the series entire that you think are appearing more explicitly or are more pronounced in these sixth and seventh volumes?

The Existential Scream
Weaponizing the Warrior Pose - Declare War Inwardly
carnificibus: multus sanguis fluit
Die Better
The Theory-Killer

Transgression, and how representations of transgression can themselves transgress. And all the paradoxes of meaning dissected through the course of the previous books...

I don't want to say too much more. I want you to have fresh eyes when I have this latest draft done!
