This is a story about a creepy fuccboi, Dostoevsky's underground man if he were into new age conspiracies, and Mervyn Peake's big castle. La historia de 'Pasos sobre cristal', son tres historias en realidad. En la primera tenemos a Graham, un joven artista que se dirige a casa de su amiga Sarah, acompañado de una carpeta con varios dibujos de ella. En segundo lugar está Steven Grout, un tipo verdaderamente extraño, que acaba de renunciar a su puesto de trabajo y que siempre va con casco, huyendo de sus Atormentadores. Y por último tenemos a Quiss y Ajayi, un hombre y una mujer, respectivamente, ya mayores, que están encerrados en un extraño castillo, algunas de cuyas paredes son de cristal, detrás de las cuáles hay peces luminiscentes, y donde pasan los días jugando a estrambóticos juegos de mesa con el fin de poder obtener la opción de responder a un acertijo, y así poder salir libres. How are these main 3 characters and their stories related? Is there a connection? There are links, some more obvious than others. There is a possible very tenuous link between the two prisoners and Steven much later in the story. It'll be interesting to see if you see it and if you agree. Do these links between characters affect the others lives. I don't think so but I may be wrong. ToughGlaze can supply Toughened or Laminated Glass to meet almost any specification.

Por otra parte, nos encontramos con las tribulaciones de Grout, un irascible y paranoico sujeto, que nos cuenta mucho de sí mismo a través de su relación (o falta de ) con las personas que lo rodean. Notese que los capítulos de sus andanzas todos llevan por título el nombre de personas.

A magician or street performer walking barefooted across broken glass is a dramatic spectacle. If you have a close-up view, you can see the person's feet pressing against the jagged edges. Sometimes, you can even hear glass breaking underfoot. It's clearly dangerous, and some performers claim that it requires the utmost concentration or even mystical intervention. Safety is our number one priority with our glasswalks, all of our glass is cleaned before each event and also after each event. We add new glass after each event to keep it fresh unlike other companies. Our set up is a led lit walk, and looks professional for your walkers. Unlike other companies that run these events for cheaper, we pride ourselves on our unique set up and safety. Dostoevsky never did anything wrong, he did not kill that cat, nor fill those trenches with concrete, though if he did, he did a damn good job, and it was the world's fault, it made him do it, god damn it, that cat had it coming, he did not kill it. Bu tarz hikayelerin bir araya toplandığı hikayelerde en önemli etken yazarın bu kesiştirmeleri yaparken zorlama olmadan yapması ve/veya okuruna bunu hissettirmemesi diye düşünüyorum. 'Camda Yürümek' i okurken bu tarz zorlama durumunu hissetmediğim gibi Banks bunu tabiri caizse tereyağından kıl çeker gibi halletmiş. The ending of the book is open to interpretation (I came up with three so far) but I'm not sure if that was Banks intent...Three apparently unrelated stories alternate here – two realistic (or apparently so), one highly fantastical. The last is by far the most compelling, amply demonstrating the extraordinary power of Banks’ imagination and inventiveness. As the book progresses, it also starts shedding light on the other two. As I was reading I knew what it was like to be each of the characters. To be in love, to understand what it would be like to believe there are tormentors out to get you, or to be frustrated with trying to learn a game just so you can try to solve an impossible riddle.

Quiss->Grout->Graham<-Grout<-Quiss döngülerin, örümcek ağlarının yaşanan herşeyin atılan bir adımın, edilen bir kelimenin, saliselik bir bakışın değiştireceği dokunacağı bir çok hayatın yanı sıra duyguların temelinde yatan ilkelliğin meydana getirdiği birlikteliğin aslında modern toplumda ki anlamsızlığına dair mükemmel bir düz yazıydı. I know there are a lot of different takes on this book, but to me the characters of Graham, Grout and Quiss seem to represent different periods of time in a person's life, and with them the key themes of love, employment and age which, when the odds are against them, leave the respective characters feeling broken, and out of touch with reality.Still, it's not a happy ever after book - on the contrary can be very depressing in parts - and it's not a story with a definite conclusion, which has left many people frustrated, despite the blurb's promise for these characters' inevitable collision (which in retrospect is rather vague).
