LOST Pre-Game: “What Kate Does”

Desmond’s reading a book by Salman Rushdie. It is not, as I mistakenly identified it, The Satanic Verse. It is, in fact, Haroun and the Sea of Stories. That’s a book aimed at children that he wrote shortly after his more famous work. It’s a work of magical realism, and while I don’t know much about it at all, most of it takes place on a Earth-orbiting body that moves through “Processes too Complicated to Explain”. Well, that sounds at least a little bit familiar.
