Hemon's parallel narratives

I'm about halfway through Aleksandar Hemon's new novel, The Lazarus Project, and it's a pretty marvelous read - in many ways even better than Nowhere Man, which I loved. The book is structured as two parallel but interconnected narratives: the first is of an early 20th Century Ukrainian immigrant killed by Chicago police and branded as an anarchist in those feverish anti-immigrant times; and the second is of a modern-day writer, also an immigrant, who is obsessed with the anarchist's life and longs to write about it. I really like the parallel structure, which keeps each narrative fresh. My hope is that Hemon ultimately unifies these two threads in the book's conclusion, and doesn't leave each enigmatic and unresolved - I doubt that the writer character will ever truly find out who the anarchist really was, but I'm hoping this somewhat aimless soul finds himself in the process even if the anarchist remains an elusive mystery.
