yks veidramaid raamatuid, mis ma kunagi lugenud olen. lisaks sellele ka mu esimene mati undi teos. avastasin end vahepeal täiesti teises dimensioonis, kogu reaalsus tundus nii ebareaalne, raamat tundus nagu imelik unenägu. ma pole ikka veel kindel, mida ma päriselt lugesin ja mida nägin veidratest nägemustest, mis mul selle raamatu tõttu olid. see on täpselt selline raamat, mille kohta saan öelda, et see meeldis, aga ei meeldinud mulle.

Vägagi intellektuaalne ja eksistentsiaalne. Äng!

Lugesin "Phaetonit, Päikese poega".
Oleks tahtnud näidendina näha.
