I reserve the right to be wrong.
Books 1 May 2003
Initially, this book is very disorienting. It’s a set of short descriptions of a strange, primitive society based on our own. Common words (house, dog, wire) take on bizarre meanings that you just have to guess at as you read deeper into this world. The whole thing is like a particularly unsettling and weird dream. By the end of the book, I felt I almost started to understand it. I’ll be reading it again.
