This book - which is a mixed-media fused with surrealism, contemporary, and mythology - was such a challenge to comprehend and go through, but frankly, I think that I'm not meant to. So instead of trying to organize its structure to form a story, I just sat and listened. I listened to the narrator's beautiful prose. I listened to their throat singing. I listened to the tune of their emotions. I just listened.
