Martin Seay - "The Mirror Thief"

I felt there was more to this book than I found. Three timelines, three generations of sorts. Strange motions in language and story. I wasn't enraptured, but kept curious, excepting magic realism, not really finding it. But there was a strange book that one of the characters does not understand, and as such keeps reading it, over and over again, until it makes sense.

Part of the settings, L.A. in the 60's, sounded very familiar.
