I’ll be so honest I had no fucking clue what was going on for most of this book. Time was moving sideways (maybe?) and it was really hard to figure out what the point of it all was. However, the ending was a nice callback to the beginning, comfy resolution, and the last line was really nice :)

Kind of a silly one. Of the three Fischer books I've read--this was the least enjoyable. No real plot, just kind of a hodge podge of a story thta is set in a designers house, a sex club in Barcelona and a few other random places. Fischer just kind of goes here and there, some of it connected to the loose story, some of it not. Most of it not that interesting to be frank.

A quick read. It's been a while since I read "Under the Frog", which I really liked. This is more fanciful, but has a similarly playful approach to sex and death. It doesn't quite hang together, I think, and the female narrator sounds just like how I remember the autobiographicalish narrator of "Under the Frog" sounding. But fun. I'm going to keep it around and see if it sticks with me.

La verdad es que empezó divirtiéndome y prometía, pero conforme pasaban las páginas me iba aburriendo cada vez más y más. Ha sido llegar a la última página y decir, venga, vale, qué alivio. Eso no puede ser bueno. Seguro que el señor Fisher es un tipo ingenioso, no me cabe duda, pero no es para mí.
