The Power of Invisible Patterns
<p>The protagonist of <a href="https://www.cbc.ca/radio/thenextchapter/full-episode-may-29-2021-1.6041046/thomas-king-s-novel-sufferance-examines-inequality-power-and-the-idea-of-community-1.6041057?utm_source=pique+newsmagazine&utm_campaign=pique+newsmagazine%3A+outbound&utm_medium=referral" rel="noopener ugc nofollow" target="_blank">Thomas King’s novel <em>Sufferance</em></a>, Jeremiah Camp, a.k.a. Forecaster, could look into the hidden motives of humanity and see patterns that held opportunities for the uber-rich. He saw something that sent him into hiding in a small town, at an old residential school on an even smaller Indian reserve, with no phone, no internet, no television. His only news was received (reluctantly) through the local baker every morning. That is how he learned of the deaths, one by one.</p>
<p>After all, Jeremiah had created that list of 12 names, each one a billionaire. And now people on the list are dying, frequently. A bit too frequently. Ash Locken, head of the Locken Group, the multinational consortium that Jeremiah had fled, wants to know why. Would Camp break his silence and tell her what he saw? That question made me dart through this <em>un-put-downable</em> novel.</p>
