The Uncial font’s perfectly appropriate: Thomas Disch was asked to write a spin-off of ‘The Prisoner’ but this book’s more like watching an episode (and pre-dates the series, I think).
And well done on predicting that Stephen Rea would become a film-star.

My eyes felt more like the cars were crashing *into* them through my glasses. Although I do not and never have had a ‘stache.
I am forced to award a GSS! to everyone today. Top-notch comments again. Extra points to Mr. Yngve.
