I have quite a doubt what to think about this book. On one hand, it was written with such beautiful, eloqent, and well-chosen words and phrases, which showed me how Smith has a very much light and ease with playing with words, with language; it told a story of many layers and many topics, quite a mystical and mythological one. On the other hand though, I wasn't quite sure about how I feel about the whole of this book, at all times. It was chaotic, I've been getting lost. I'm not sure what this book is supposed to be about and what do I take with me from reading it. And if I take anything at all. Maybe it was just a beautifully phrased story that I read once. We'll see. Maybe I'll clarify one day what do I think about it.
