Great book sbout how obsession and anxiety can take over your life.
Interesting to read how the main character slowly goes insane over his own obsessions and how they go from innocent to very big and consequental. It's starts with a fairly innocent mouth connection, but then slowly the main character moves to having to hang Lena because that is logical next step for the mental mapping of associations he has made.
Phew, what a ride. I'  interested to read the interpretations of scholars for thid book. In sum, very original book, not many books are written like this!
