That's the great thing about subtext and "hidden meanings": anything anybody "gets" from it is equally valid. Unless the author goes out of their way to say; "No. That's ridiculously wrong." And how likely is that to happen?
The upside-down 100m is intriguing. That hadn't occurred to me! |

I agree. The artist has quite a bit of authority on what a piece of art might mean - being the creator. But once released, other interpretations can help to shape that work.
A novel can continue to "become" after the final word is printed. |

Just bought the Shift Omnibus, which I only found out about today since I'm so far behind on MR. Well, okay, it was just released a few days ago, so I guess I'm not that far behind. But now I know what I'm reading after Cold Days!

I've sorted out Second Shift so I can load it on my reader when I finish the book I am currently reading. So that can be a read for February.
