Omensetter's Luck

His prose is known for being dense and poetic. I wonder how much of the town's character is built through his stylistic choices.

The title hints at luck and omens, but I'm curious whether these are meant to be real or just reflections of the characters' minds.

Gass dives deep into human folly and superstition. I wonder what motivated him to portray this particular small town so intricately.
