fairly good but i feel like it’s lacking…something? certainly an interesting inversion of the cold war and american occupation of japan, and one that could have been explored further. some of the political musing was interesting (the american petit-bourgeois and quislings instantly cosigning fascist thought, for instance), and some fun musing on art and historiosity. i did find the plot a little incoherent at times though..

Would have dnf’d but decided to see it through because I want to watch the TV show. I didn’t understand much of the novel and no plot point seemed to have a clear resolution. Worst book i’ve read this year.
