I did not understand this book at all, I have the feeling I don’t even understand why I didn’t understand it. Absolutely dumbfounded. Original, yes, I appreciated the prose, but I’m not sure what happens, why or what the message is. I guess some people might say that sometimes there is no message. I disagree, there is always a message no matter how obscure the book, or how many prizes it wins. Sometimes that’s the only thing you get. Not here. I’m not trying to be cruel, it can be an enjoyable book but jump in ready to be confused.
