Thanks for the recommendation, will definitely have to pick up another one. what's next on the list? wind up bird chronicles?
What I loved most about the book was the sense of resignation combined with bewilderment. And not just because he's obviously mixing kafka with anime pop culture. I think the writer really sees the world this way. The honesty of it, outside of the device, I think was what hit me. This could potentially be a zeitgeist book by a zeitgeist writer. Like a jd salinger or jack kerouak, someone you best enjoy reading when you're young or young in spirit, forming your opinion about the world's mechanics. This time around being the anxiety and horrific dread of a kafka scenario injected with disco lights, kareoke and cowboy bebop. Strange, powerful dynamics of beauty and evil whirling around the individual in current times.
or it could be about sex. which is alright too.
great read.
