"I’m slowly reading this book over the course of months while I have another book going. It’s turning out very well; strongly recommend reading it this way!
The narrative is told in fragments over the course of decades and half or more of the book is philosophical rumination told outside the context of the story. Reading it in chunks really befits the narrative & themes." — Sep 29, 2024 09:14AM
