This is an odd book. I've seen it descried as magical realism, but that only partially seems to fit for me. It reads to me more like a contemporary fiction novel (at least, fairly contemporary for when it was written) that has elements of either fantasy or hallucination written into it, and with absolutely no clear indicator which one is the truth. I'm not sure that I like it... but I'm also not sure that I don't.
