Did the writer actually come out of AMC Terror fandom? [edit] Yes, which makes me want to find the original vignettes on AO3.

I had no idea there was a show about the Terror ahahah what

I can see how that hiccups. Would it have done better with multiple viewpoints?

I think so. We never see the POV of the Black bridge character, who I think has the most interesting perspective.

(Which kind of kinda? Can think of several options and have not read book.)

Of the expat characters, Margaret is lesbian, Arthur is gay, and Graham claims to be straight but has had sex with at least one man and seems to be more experienced with men than with women, until he falls in love with the narrator. Arthur has a huge crush on Graham and it's kind of implied that they had sex at some point. The narrator claims to be straight but goes on at great length about how hot Margaret is, and this is deliberate on the author's part (in the interview I read, she says that the narrator is repressing her obvious attraction).

Would you like to know which characters/relationships survive?
