Cayce > Recent Status Updates

I'm completely enthralled! I never do status updates of a book while I'm still reading it, but this has piqued an excitement in me. I don't know how common the style of writing used is, but it's got me hooked. The main character is telling a story (well, more like vignettes that I assume will conclude the overall story) to a stranger, a fellow patron at a tea cafe in Pakistan. Essentially, the reader is the stranger.
