The first chapter about Carthage travelling is superb. The next stories get worse Because I was lost within the images and the names and the places and the people. I perceive a harrowing Experience of living that life and a bitter depression. Although I like the poems and some interesting techniques of allusions. But the overall impression is very poor. when reading I didn’t understand anything.
The author got to much engaged in the play of words and ideas. His visions and his songs, he didn’t crack open them, left unanswered questions. Perhaps that was intended.
