Anyone know the author of the book? Anyone read it? Recommended, or not?
This might be a product of me being dumbed down by the media, but I found it an arduous read that I had to break up into easily digested pieces. You definitely have to read it several times to get it, much like you have to watch a surreal (or surreal type) film several times to discern meaning. It is beautifully written, despite the shocking/outrageous subject matter. The style almost acts as a buffer, at least to my modern sensibilities. It's an experience well worth having, though I wouldn't consider it one of my favorite books. Zach
