Sin embargo, Kang no se encuentra interesada en lo absoluto en explorar sus sentimientos y emociones. En realidad, esta trama es solamente el pretexto para plasmar sus reflexiones sobre la importancia del lenguaje, tanto su naturaleza violenta como reconfortante. Y pese a que la prosa contiene pasajes hermosos, puede llegar a ser un tanto tediosa con algunos argumentos filosóficos que se sienten forzados en lugar de naturales.
Posiblemente sea el libro menos amigable de la autora, pero también es el más llamativo para los amantes del lenguaje puro.

It's a short book and there are plenty of threads still unravelled by the end. The female character's story perhaps remains more hidden than the male character's. But then life isn't always simple and fully explained and there aren't always best endings to things.
I would read more by this author (but perhaps only when I was in the right mood)
