Lighthearted but with an underlying sadness and feeling of emptiness. Leaning on the dystopia. Explores work themes in a world where a job is your only important identity. Temporary jobs but always in search of the one that'll stick. Whimsy, childlike/innocent narration, funny, heartbreaking. One of the best books I've ever read.

Wow. Two pages in I knew I was going to love this book. This felt like so many books in one it’s hard to believe it was only 184 pages. The writing style is so versatile—from beautiful symbolism to reading the most absurd sentences I’ve ever read in the same page. Highly recommend this. Borrowed it from the library which was a mistake. Definitely need to buy a new copy and write everywhere.
