Michael Ondaatje's WARLIGHT

Quotes:

"I suppose there are traditions and tropes in stories like this. Someone is given a test to carry out. No one knows who the truth bearer is. People are not who or where we think they are. And there is someone who watches from an unknown location."

"(Just as) no score relies on only one pitch or level of effort from musicians in the orchestra. Sometimes it relies on silence."
