Do you ever just have a moment where you're like "I...I just don't know, man" about a book? The audiobook has a great narrator, and not all characters have to be sympathetic, but also it's like

"I'm not sure what I can pull from a story where the narrator sinks deep into a delusion and his younger wife pulls him partially out of it but not really and he's kind of a weird dick anyway?"

. The portrait of a marriage angle doesn't really do it for me, and watching Leo face nothing also doesn't do anything for me, though of course I loved the casual dismissal in Patagonia that kind of shatters this grandiose delusion.

But...I just don't know, man. I just don't know.
