Like a mindfullness meditation in written form. I loved the way the format of the book works with the story, with wide margins that enhance a sense of calm.

Escolhido das estantes da biblioteca sem qualquer referência prévia, a leitura deste livro acaba por fazer justiça ao título, uma vez que foi uma experiência fria, sem qualquer sobressalto, sem desassossego, sem me fazer questionar o que quer que fosse. Em resumo, um bocejo.
Na contracapa, refere-se que esta obra foi vencedora do Novel Prize, um novo prémio bienal patrocinado por algumas editoras, com o intuito de distinguir romances que explorem e expandam as possibilidades do género. O problema pode ter sido meu, mas não consegui encontrar nada na obra que me pareça novo, ou simplesmente diferente.

Very elegant indeed. Like wandering into someone’s memory (and just as ephemeral) Au has an amazing sense of mood and place. No ‘“””’narrative’”””” so to speak. Just a series of moments, past and present that are hypnotic and gentle, even if there’s discontent and anxiety beneath the surface.
