Favourite read of the year so far, but why? The writing really worked for me: it is restrained, composed, philosophical without being preachy, ambiguous without being too ambitious, funny without being too obvious. The tone, rhythm and narrative construction are extremely fine tuned. The cast of characters is entirely believable, and despite how far away from me they are (in every aspect), they felt familiar and present. And the theme! Un régal.
