@aeva @hannah Oh, it's not a real dictionary, per se-- it's a work of ficiton presented as a dictionary, with a story that unravels slowly as you read it.

And I think there's something about it being an alleged compilation from multiple sources, and which sources say what about certain entries is part of the story?

I haven't read it myself, but I think Jessica might have. Or at least she knows more about it than I do.
