Facets for Snorri

Filed under: General — Tags: , — m759 @ 12:31 pm

(Who is Snorri? See The Reykjavik Grapevine , Oct. 3, 2018.)

From this  journal yesterday

"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.
