i fw this book
it's interesting
longer review later maybe
edit: sensuous prose, very fast read (-3h with close-ish reading); very interesting characters and symbolism. interesting details and a lot to do research with about meiji/modern era japan. bc if this is a realistic portrayal of their people's obsession with the west id be freaked tf out
tiny bit supernatural at the end. i like novels that depict depravity and degeneracy esp in the narrator. will not reread anytime soon
