Section IV
The archive
Every record, every date, every place.
People, evidence, places and a chronology that separates what happened from what the novel invents.
The people
Twelve subjects. Three ways of being filed.
Credentials for the people with an institution behind them. Photographs from somebody's drawer for everyone else. One file with a subject struck out.

The Archive
A novel that borrows real history owes its readers a visible line between the record and the invention. Every entry here carries the mark it carries in the author's own working files. Nothing on this page gives away a turn the book is holding back.
