A very strange and surrealistic tale. The writing is abrupt and childlike at times but you get surprised by the emotional reactions the story engenders as you experience the life and relationship of the main character in short and seemingly unconnected vignettes. I was not quite sure what was going on until 70% of the way through but the adventure was intriguing nonetheless.
