Oh damn, this was beautiful. How to write a spy novel that's not about spies. A travelogue story that's not about traveling. A fish out of water narrator that doesn't give a fig about how you're supposed to act when you're a fish out of water. Unpredictable. Nuanced. Believable dialogue. Lovely narrative that captures the ways people look at each other in words I've only heard before in my own head.
