Thought provoking analysis of what it means to be human, and what it means to act ethically. Lots of disparate strands play along the path of this narrative. We follow Bobby Western and as an echo, his little sister Alice through shared components of their lives. I was seldom sure which characters were people and which were hallucinations in this, but it always made me consider.
