This book reminded me of that movie "The Game" with Michael Douglas. The main character finds a letter stuck in his door - an invitation to a film screening. When he arrives at the theater, he is the only person there, except for a woman shrouded in shadow. As he watches the film, he realizes he is watching himself, sitting on a bench over his lunch break. After leaving the screening, he continues to be invited or brought to the next "scenario," and the paranoia and intrigue grows.

This premise was great, and I was really enjoying it and waiting for the reveal, up until the last chapter. It got very mystical and supernatural, and I got the impression that there was some greater message or symbolism there that I didn't really get. So I loved the ride, but not so much the ending. I wanted a real-world explanation but didn't get it.

this book is getting very fun. kinda slow there for a while, but it gets to be like reading proust in a way: nothing really happens but a lot of thinking for pages and pages, so once there's a bit of action, wow! you are thrilled by it, however small! :)

...okay, it's a few days later now, and i've finished the book. HOLY SMOKES! will someone i know please read this so i'll have someone to discuss it with??? pretty please?? if you're in knoxville, i'll give you cupcakes:).... this book went from hum-drum with mild intrigue to BLOWING MY MIND.

i have got to read more by this man.

2002 yılında çekilmiş sanat filmini 2018 yılında esneyerek izlemek gibiydi.

Üstüne içeceğimin gazı kaçmış, mısırımın tuzu eksikmiş, başım çat diye çatlamak üzereymiș gibi.
Yazarın kalemi güzel fakat bıraktığı his tam olarak IT WAS OK.
