Greg Egan“The Sticky” is a preposterous, hugely enjoyable Fargo-esque crime caper, with Margo Martindale in overdrive, a cameo by Jamie Lee Curtis, and the Fort Knox of maple syrup.
Erin@gregeganSF does it mention the actual maple syrup reserve heist? (which I think might have later been explained as a clerical error. I might have to look it up again...maybe Lowering the Bar covered it)
@ChateauErin They mentioned something at the start then immediately made it clear that what followed would bear no relationship to reality.
@gregeganSF good, Margo Martindale should not be constrained by such things
