Why are you like this? You were a good boy!
This novel forces you to be in the audience and watch a man you don't really like break down on stage. It's uncomfortable. But you will also in the end have empathy for him.
There's metaphors, symbolism and a whole parable to tackle. And perhaps even a reworked story of Peer Gynt in there
The only question is if it becomes to self-centered on it's chosen format, or excercise in style. Does it really say anything new?
