I'm about halfway through reading it and - without finding time now to attempt a substantial review - I can say it's very good. There are some very thoughtful insights. Example: describing the scene in Holy Mountain where Berg (the character representing Uranus, financial minister to the President) is lying on a bed using a leopard as a pillow with his feet propped up on a life-sized human doll, the author interprets this as Berg symbolizing a mountain ('berg' is German for mountain) bridging the void between man (the doll at the foot) and nature (the leopard at the top). That's brilliant, I never would have come up with that...

But what is the etymological significance of the other characters' names? Any ideas? Klen? Axon? Fon? Isla (island)? Sel (salt)? Lut?...
