Dr No by Percival Everett review serious comedy
Briefly

I recall that I am extremely forgetful, announces the narrator of Percival Everett's Dr No in the novel's opening lines.I believe I am.I think I know that I am forgetful.Though I remember having forgotten, I cannot recall what it was that I forgot or what forgetting feels like.No sooner has the reader crossed the threshold of the narrative than it begins to reveal itself as a labyrinth of mirrors, an elaborate and joyously rickety construction of philosophical gags and structural paradoxes.
