Fascinating little novel - kind of a combination of contemporary character study and satire, with a little bit of thriller in the background. Some people won't like the ambiguous ending but I don't think there was really a way to end it more definitively that wouldn't have come off a bit silly. I'll be thinking about this one for a while.
