The flow of the writing feels odd and confusing to me at times. To better explain how I felt while reading, the entire book reads like an artsy short film with jump cuts between paragraphs that sometimes throw me off. I'm not sure if it's the translation or the stylistic choice of the author. Probably the biggest reason why I couldn't give this a higher rating. No doubt this is an interesting read, it's subtle and open to interpretations. I might actually enjoy it a lot more the second time I read it.
