> [@etv78](#): > > In light of #12, do you want to ask that? Yes. Logic redacted. Let’s just go with this: Perhaps my question was poorly-worded. Try this: DQ: Does the novel take place between January 1, 2000 and January 1, 2014? (Yes, I am aware that the 21st century didn’t officially start until 2001, but I guess I’m really looking for whether the novel takes place between 2000 and 2013.) ---
