Book 1 of done. It is indeed hypnotic through it's various repetitions, circularities, symmetries, synchonisities and meditations on good and evil. . My engagement with it reflected in continuing straight onto Book 2. @bookstodon

So as prep for reading (second attempt: I was cheap and time poor the first time and had to return the book - it's 830pp) I read the 100pp novella . My mind was 🤯. Sharing the same narrative and stylistic elements as the bigger work this little book traverses time, memory, tragedy and constantly shifting points of view in a stunning way. Like a string quartet composed of a handful of notes continually repeated and transformed. Better clear the diary for the bigger work. @bookstodon
