A real thinker! Lots of symbolism that isn't immediately obvious. Fantastically written and the translation is beautiful, each and every word is exquisite. I realized I had been reading endless pages about a man sat at the bottom of a well and I still wasn't bored because of the joy of being wrapped in the prose.
