It's a strange book. For long stretches it comes across as words for the sake of words. A novel that is inching towards Proust or perhaps Balzac but really is going nowhere. There is very little that shouts out Dali or surrealism. Yet, at the same time, somehow, it's compelling. The characters may end up doing little other than live but, somehow, there's something in there that catches one's interest.
