Book Discussion Questions
1. The setting, Las Vegas, is so pervasive it is almost a
character in its own right. Talk about how the author
uses the dry desert town as a backdrop and as an integral
piece of the story. Could the story take place anywhere
else?
2. When we first meet Luis, he is recovering from a selfinflicted
gunshot wound, and he suffers both mentally
and physically. How does the act of writing to Bashkim
help him with both?
3. Guns are an integral part of the plot. Discuss the role of
guns in this story, both in actuality and as metaphor.
