A fictional autobiography in disguise. Well, maybe we got lost in translation, maybe I asked for too much, But maybe this thing was a masterpiece 'til you tore it all up, Claudia!
I don't know why but I was fuming, despite knowing this was fiction initially when I reached the Afterword and confirmed I was being bamboozled *surprised foreseeable shock*. The writing style is on a thin line of hit or miss but it was truly an amazing experience.

"If a metaphor is an accident, a revelation, a car accident, I’m always left picking up the same shattered bits of glass. I never capture, never obtain even one new splinter; I just stick to my part in the constant recycling of beauty."
