Facets for Snorri
(Who is Snorri? See The Reykjavik Grapevine , Oct. 3, 2018.)
"Faced with a larger surface than he had ever provided with facets,
in his desperation he had divided the diamond with imaginary lines,
treating each section as if it were a single small stone and arranging
the clusters of facets so they would interact with one another, as if they
were single facets in a smaller stone. What if the final result lacked fire?"
— A novel* by Noah Gordon, who reportedly died on Monday, Nov. 22.
