I enjoyed the consciousness of the narrative and the metafiction style, which is definitely an interesting choice that is quite post-modern. It is reflective and subtle and embeds Japanese values in such a beautiful way. The creation of parallel universes is an interesting standpoint that was equal parts confusing and fascinating. It is ghastly and beautiful and leaves much to be desired.

the characters are complex, and the whole 'time being' thing was pretty cool, too.
A Tale for the Time Being has a fair amount of trigger warnings, and so there is a level of maturity needed to ride the ride.
