**SPOILERS**
I've been trying to decide if this would have been a better novel if it had remained tightly interior, omitting the expository/explanatory news articles. Though I enjoyed and admired it, I think it would have been better if the narrative had stayed closer to the protagonist, which would have made it more ambiguous and heightened the question of whether her visitor existed or was an enactment of her grief for her husband.
