It reminds me of Saramago's BLINDNESS but with colors filtered to half their usual saturation. Instead of "the car thief" and "the doctor" etc. we have "the young man" and "the woman in the indigo skirt," but these characters have no character, so far, beyond these identifying tags, whereas the characters in blindness felt whole and rich from the beginning. But it's early, and I may yet learn how to read it.
