4.5

4.5, maybe 5. I can't even form proper thoughts for this book I've just finished. It's complex yet simple. It's about paradoxes, pandemics, writing, loneliness, second chances, all of human history and a single moment at the same time. It's hard to believe so much was packed into such a small book. It kept me thinking and guessing and reflecting the whole time, with lovely prose.
