This is a somewhat difficult, but worthy book. I read the introduction at least three different times. And I had some difficultly orientating myself at first as the narrative reminded me much of a folk tale and there were few details that tied the narrative to a 1960s I was familiar with (at one point there was mention of a bus…). Eventually, I adapted.
It should be noted that the second story has some difficult content that one might wish to turn away from, but should not (thinking back as I write this review, I am reminded of Susan Sontag’s small book Regarding the Pain of Others). I had to “work” a bit harder with this book,, but ultimately, I found the story powerful and haunting, especially given current events.
I would read more of this author's work....… (plus d'informations)
