Honestly I feel like I wasn’t smart enough for this book. It was beautifully written, even in translation, and at times it felt like a fever dream. I think it’s an excellent book. It’s complex, engrossing, and certainly deserves its reputation as a classic. However, it was not a book I especially enjoyed on a personal level.
