But it has a beautiful ambivalence and precision that reminds me of both Kafka, Calvino and Brookner.
I’m very intrigued as to what’s happening next.


I have been having some difficulty picking this up again after my last post but I am determined to finish it before the end of the month!
Is anyone else currently reading this? Phil, how are you progressing?


I will have to see if I can get a copy of the right book from the library.



I haven't read Waiting for the Barbarians yet, but from what I know about it, I couldn't quite understand your first statement about the racial dynamics. Now it's a little clearer.
