LETTER–To Edgar Allan Poe

While many hailed him as a literary master abroad, his own country often treated him with skepticism. This may have been fueled by his sharp criticism and bold commentary, which spared no one. Poe’s honesty in literary reviews unsettled a scene unprepared for such directness. In doing so, he gained as many enemies as admirers. It is ironic that a man of…-

Section 11 opens by revealing a tightly guarded secret: the full truth of Flatland is known only to the Chief Circle. This knowledge is passed down only once, from one Chief to his chosen successor, just before death. Even the factory responsible for maintaining this secret takes no chances—its workers are regularly replaced to eliminate any risk of exposure.
