I honestly don’t know what I just read, but it was enjoyable while reading.

The description on the back cover is not what I got from this book at all.
Several episodes in the life of a man. He wakes in the mud and seems as confused as me reading it. He is an actor; he works in an office and marries the boss's daughter--and then leaves when he dies; he lives in a shelter. Meets the orphaned daughter of an actress he met once, and takes her in. Encourages her acting dreams, they move in with an old friend of his in Harmada. She moves in with her boyfriend. The narrator gets his own apartment and finds a deaf mute boy there, who takes him to meet a man with the same name as the city's founder.
So, yeah. I have no idea what this all meant.
