The Ogre day 2

What I noticed about the text was how each journal entry gets shorter and shorter as the novel progresses. But as the second part of the novel begins, it refers to Abel in the third person instead of the first person.

On page 153, when Abel is in Strasborg, I was reminded of the massacre of Jews that occurred there in the Middle Ages, as, in the time of the novel, the Holocaust is occurring.
