Weird. Like reading someone’s dream but I don’t even like listening to people’s dreams so I don’t know why I would expend the energy to read one!

A near impossible to follow story with beautiful prose and atmosphere. The translators note at the end really helped pull it all together, as much as you can with this book.

I'm still trying to process the fever dream that is this book. One of those novels you immediately want to reread to understand at a deeper level. I love the writing style and atmosphere of this book.
