Talk:Ghostwritten

message: I have a question. Please comment on my suggestion, thanks: 
At the end of the St Petersburg chapter it reads: "None of this happened. None of this really happened". What does that mean? I vaguely remember that there is reference to the st petersburg story later on as being really just a 'story' but I can't find it anymore. On the other hand this painter guy Jerome is mentioned later as being killed (which is a 'real' event in the other story). So what is the meaning here?
This may be deleted and your question isn't dated, but I took that to be simply a reference to all the lies that Margarita has been telling herself in order to come to terms with the way she lives. She's basically in denial. WLight (talk) 02:51, 30 July 2010 (UTC)

message: It is not obvious that in this chapter Quasar is on the london underground - admittedly there is a bag with those words on it present, but the presence of attendants with white gloves does not fit with the London underground and rather points to Quasar being on the Japanese system. Furthermore, the Zookeeper only manages to stop missiles firing at a particular point - that this ushers in a new era of hope and prosperity is not stated and so has been removed. --Phl3djo 20:02, 3 June 2006 (UTC)

message: The version of 17 August was a far better article than the current one - providing context, being in a more appropriate style for an encyclopedia entry, and being clearer to read. I therefore reverted.
However, since this change removed a lot of text, I include below what was removed. --David Edgar 07:56, 31 August 2006 (UTC)

message: There are also hints and references to other works, most prominently from Isaac Asimov and the Three Laws of Robotics towards the end of the book, as well as Wild Swans by Jung Chang and The Music of Chance by Paul Auster.
It could easily be that I'm just dense and ill-read, but I'd like to see these refernces spelled out plainly if they are to remain in the article (not that I doubt the editor who added them, but I think they should be more specific in terms of specific passages).--thither 08:17, 5 October 2006 (UTC)

message: I don't think this section of the summary for the Night Train chapter is right:
"But before this, Mo Muntervary reveals that she is, in fact, part of a terrorist organization set to destroy America. The Zookeeper was made by her, but went haywire when she demanded the execution of thousands."
When is it revealed that Mo is a terrorist? I only see allusions to her creating the Zookeeper, not that she was trying to destroy America. Can this be verified with a quote from the book/reference?  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 137.159.36.197 (talk) 21:21, 18 April 2015 (UTC)

message: In it's present version, the article's Plot section runs over 2000 words in length. This well exceeds the MOS's recommendation of 300-700 words. Though the plot jumps between characters, it is fairly straightforward and I think we can reduce this section to about 700 words. Removing the subheadings might be appropriate as well. This could be a bold edit, but I'll rely on other editors to correct the article if I've gone too far.Public Thing (talk) 18:19, 21 March 2022 (UTC)
