I've been reading The Pale King and enjoying it immensely, even if it owes an obvious but unmentioned debt to Twin Peaks--not in the supernatural, but in the odd sincerity and conviction civil servants bring to their work.
In the real world, alas, civil servants are not always so helpful.
"Thou shalt not extinguish thine anger, but shall master it,
that thy conscience may not be blunted by adjustment
to wrong causes."
