On page eight, we are again told in no uncertain terms some “fact” about the novel. Where before it was that we were reading a murder mystery, on page eight it is that this will not be a funny book. It would not be quite right to say that this novel is a murder mystery, (There is a murder, it is mysterious, but this novel isn’t really about the murder.) It is outright wrong to say that this novel is not funny. Certainly, it deals with some very serious issues, and at times is deeply emotional, but it is in the end, a lighthearted story.
