In the final book of this excellent trilogy, the surrealist world that Davis has dreamt up finally begins to make a kind of sense. This is thanks largely to excerpts from Castro's titular book, an encyclopaedia he's put together from his studies of dissected household gods. Events come to a head, things change, things carry on as they were, and maybe the future is a little brighter than it was. All in all a very satisfying end to the story.
