Reading this book is like being in a very small damp room in a surrealist painting and not being sure how you got there but knowing you wanted to be there. The main characters are lost in a very passive way that seems to preclude any conscious actions but just beyond and all around them ‘things’ are happening. It makes for an oddly enjoyable if tense read.
