Thick with thoughts, thoughtfully nimble.

Very much a stream-of-consciousness style of writing, but a great story overall. I recommend reading Fuentes' The Eagle's Throne after reading this novel, as they speak to each other (in a way).

This short book is the first thing I have read by Aria. While it gets confusing in sections I think it's a lovey sci fi-ish plot that is told really well, and with beautiful writing. It's not an "easy" read but it's a good read.

Really weird and inventive and new. A great translation.
