The Man Who Saw Everything by Deborah Levy
4.0
3.5 stars rounded up to 4.
This started out in a very straightforward manner and was very enjoyable. But, the second half took a very unusual turn and became somewhat confusing. I found myself stopping and wondering where I had made a wrong turn. Turns out Ms. Levy has a message(s) to deliver in a unique way. I found the writing to be so strong that I had no trouble maintaining my interest in this relatively short novel. It left me thinking and pondering the confusing story line and the messages it was meant to convey. If you like clean plots, you won't like this one. I would have liked a bit more clarity in spots but overall thought this was quite good.
