David Park here has written a short novel that lays out a character-driven journey that develops its central character and his worldview in a narrative that features a small amount of plot, but is buoyed by its deft usage of character interactions and flashbacks. The alienness of the text is reflected by its foreign wintry setting, enough so that the conclusion makes sense in its own way. I thought it was brilliant.
Graphic: Death
Moderate: Suicidal thoughts
Minor: Vomit, Drug abuse, and Miscarriage
