Seeing People Off by Jana Beňová

3.0

A thoughtful, short read. Feel as though I'm peeking into a world I'm not familiar with; it's not quite accessible. However the feelings, relationships, and life events described in prose are universal enough to be used as a connective tissue. Beňová describes just the notes of what happens to the characters in the town, but all assembled, the greater picture can be pieced together. The moments are frequently bitter sweet, and occasionally comical.

According to Dr. Typhoon, CarlSolomon emerges mostly as an embryo within an embryo. And then gradually grows and matures until it decides it is grown up and becomes independent. That's when a person goes crazy.
