The author wasn't literate till his adulthood - I'd describe this as 'important' as it wasn't published till after the authors' suicide. I'd recommend reading the epilogue as I almost DNF'ed and didn't enjoy the book - feel like a prick after the epilogue

The whole atmosphere the book created was very engrossing, and it made me feel hollow. Had it been published in the 50s it would have been extraordinarily ahead of its time, but reading it now it has certainly aged. You want to root for Leda, but he makes it so hard.
