Bindas" Subject: Re: (glencook-fans) Timelines in Bleak Seasons (spoilers) The first time I read Bleak Seasons, I had a hard time wrapping my head around it. The way Cook jumped around in time and between the plot threads reminded me a little of disjointed effect in Kesey's "Sometimes a Great Notion". I think Bleak Seasons gets better with a rereading or two. When I reread it, I stopped trying to keep track of the plots and just let the story happen. If that makes any sense. My personal theory is that Soulcatcher is take Murgen one last "meta" jump back in time - reliving the past few years of his life, old time jumps and all.
