Four More Weeks at Chapman Farm in Circles and Squares
This is the third in a nine part series of posts in which I will be reading Rowling-Galbraith’s seventh Cormoran Strike novel, Running Grave, as if each of its nine Parts or chapter sets were books themselves. I’m doing this because Rowling has in previous books, most notably Troubled Blood, written the Parts of her novels in the same structural form that she does the book as a whole and the series of books taken in a set, a traditional story scaffolding called ring composition (see the first post in this series for an introduction to that).
The idea, in a nutshell, is to read Running Grave as if it were a Dickens novel, a super-long book best read as nine, serialized, semi-stand-alone parts.
