I have to admit, despite having studied Japanese at uni, I just can't quite get into kooky Japanese literature like this.. like, I'm all for a slightly funky metaphor but I prefer my metaphors with a bit more context... I don't know, it was all a bit too obscure for me I think!
There were occasional bits of nice language, but even then they were negatively balanced by irritating descriptions of women.
