Seven-half stars and a need to chew, digest, and expel from my system.
Note to self: read it again x years from now, because it will undoubtedly be a different book.

Harrowing imagery, at times familiar. I'm constantly chasing a bleak picture of WWII as good as Gravity's Rainbow or The Tin Drum. Coincidentally this novel inspired Pynchon to write GR. An early postmodern novel, overall enjoyable, excellent atmospheric writing.

Sparse language ripe with imagery. The devastation seeps from every word.
