Sorry for the really dumb questions, I am just fascinated by and curious about the ending of Doubles’ first chapter. No need to answer fully any of them if it will contain spoilers. :) I read @ladamedusoif ‘s reblog. Is Peña code-switching? Is he one person … or is he a … twin? Is dolly an unreliable narrator? 👀
Thank you for writing - you have a gift ❤️
There are no dumb questions, as our friend LaDame is always quick to remind me! 🩵
Hmm, how to answer this without spoilers? I will say that Peña is code-switching, a fascinating cultural and linguistic phenomenon that happens in both multi-lingual communities and within cultural groups. (For anyone curious about linguistic code-switching, you might start here.)
Dolly's narration will be an important thread throughout Double Dealings -- remember, she was unsure for a long time about telling her story. We can assume she has history with Peña given her name, but what it is, how it happened, and the ultimate reason she's decided to tell it now, despite the reservations of her son Frank... that's to be seen! To your other questions: Ezra is one person. A person who wants his club to succeed. And... he's willing to do a lot to ensure that happens.
Thank you so much for reading. Your comments are always so thoughtful and I'm so grateful for the support you give so freely and generously throughout this fandom! 😘
