This book is very much its own thing. What do I even mean by that? I don't know, maybe just that the voice is distinctive -- somehow slow and rich and convoluted and even a bit repetitive, and yet it's working for me. I don't have a clue where it's going, and I always like that in a book.

I finished this yesterday. But I can't move on. The story's like an iceberg, where I could sense the enormous mass of history/backstory beneath the surface. Then near the end some of it could suddenly be glimpsed, & my understanding had to expand enormously to accommodate the REAL reality -- I know this isn't making any sense, but in a nutshell: Everything else is on hold while I go back & read this book again.

So indirect, so allusive that I sometimes feel like I'm deciphering code. What a strange and demanding reading experience this is. But I'm not complaining -- because so far it's been worth it.
