But Levon is also “novel” backward. So he’s telling a Story. The Story? From/about the Father of Jesus? "Levon wears his war wound like a crown  
“Of Thorns?” It’s Levon who’s born on Christmas Day, not Jesus. Yet three generations are mentioned. The “Family Plan”? The Triune?

Believe on? You aren’t digging deep enough. Levon is a bottomless pit. :eek:
