Strange and beautiful. Author starts to recall shady childhood experiences he has forgotten/oppressed.

Subtly twisty memory ghosts. Maybe perfect? No, I don't know what happened, but that doesn't matter.

Hóa ra để "em" khỏi lạc trong khu phố không phải là để một cô gái khỏi lạc trong khu phố...

Hóa ra thời gian có thể mài mòn và làm nhòa đi những điều tưởng như gắn bó nhất. Đọc cuốn này mình flashback cực mạnh lại hồi lớp 9, mình ghi nhật ký vì "chắc chắn mình sẽ quên nên ghi lại để sau này lúc cần còn có một cái gì gợi nhớ". Nhưng có ai ghi lại được cả cuộc đời không, hay những điều cốt tử rồi cũng sẽ đến lúc rơi vào quên lãng?

I expected more from an award winning author. Perhaps this story got lost in the translation from French to English?

very interesting book - different way of telling a story. you don't really know what happened exactly; you just kind of guess!

I think something was lost in translation. I really felt like I missed something, but I found it too boring to reread even though it's super short.
