Like a denser, more poetic version of Sartre's Nausea. Full of strikingly beautiful sentences and images, and some interesting existential reflections, but also a bit repetitive and pretentious, and ended on a strangely sentimental note. I admired it without loving it.

"To interpret myself and formulate me I need new signs and new articulations in shapes found on this side and beyond my human story. I transfigure reality and then another dreaming and sleepwalking reality creates me. And all of me rolls and as I roll on the ground I add to myself in leaves, I, anonymous work of an anonymous reality only justifiable as long as my life lasts. And then? then all that I lived will be a poor superfluity."
