This work is so simple, it's easy to dismiss by a non-careful reader. On an action-level, it's not

lively, but if one is knowledgeable of the historical and cultural contexts its stark metaphors allude to and, in some ways,

illuminate, a very subtle brilliance can be gleaned. It's a more laid-back book than most, and lives more in the gentle surprise of lovely

language and concepts than go-go plot or quirky characters. Probably a book more for

the mind and a creative heart.
