This book is the perfect example of absurd and grotesque and insane and yet I really enjoyed reading it. But it has its very clear missing pieces that make me be a bit harsher with my review. The writing itself tho I loved.

Reading this book felt like both a fever dream and sleep paralysis. 

não consegui me forçar a ler os dois últimos capítulos, mas sofri tanto que acho que mereço colocar como lido. tive uns sonhos bizarros nos três dias em que tava lendo, então achei que valia pelo menos as duas estrelas

Bizarre & disturbing but gotta love a fan girl

Initially I added this book because it looked weird at a moment when I was looking for weird. Reading reviews, I realized it wasn't a book I'd likely enjoy fully, and considered dumping it.  Instead I listened at a pretty high speed, so that I could just let it wash over me and not get stuck in particulars. 
Now, it's definitely not for me, but I like that it doesn't care to be. I kind of like that it's bleak and overly serious and in some ways not at all about what it seems to be about.  Form aside, is it that different from the classic German bildungsroman, that philosophical disaffected youth in search of meaning and identity, or escape from both? 
I genuinely don't know whether I enjoyed this book or would recommend it, but I enjoyed thinking about it, and I suspect I'll continue thinking about it for a while.
