Was the author trying to be weird and confusing for the sake of being weird and confusing? It certainly felt that way as I read this. I'm surprised I actually finished reading the entire book!

This is a fantastical fiction. It reads like a feverish dream, like the author is hallucinating. It's quite disorienting, really. It's weird and I can't sum it up.

I liked the first story a lot and was intrigued by the first half of the last story, but overall it just didn't work. I also had the strong feeling that a great deal was lost in translation.

I adored Untolf Day and Night.

But this one...My God, it was atrocious. A German in one of the - horrible- stories complains that a relative of his was murdered when the war ended by one of 'those inmates who had been liberated from a concentration camp. They had come to rob him.'

Well, you idiot of a writer, my grandfather was someone who fought during the war, killed a fair share of Nazis who had slaughtered Jews and gentiles alike, and he wasn't liberated. He escaped, killing one or two Nazis in the process. And he sure did well and is in Heaven for that. Where are your ancestors, writer, I wonder...

I will never read another book by a writer who is so blinded by admiration for the (excellent, no doubt about that) German writers that she practically turned into a Nazi sympathiser. And I stand by my opinion no matter what. There are certain sentences that NO literary license can ever forgive.

A mesmerizing dream-like journey through the retired actress, Ayami's senses. The reader is unsure what is happening and it continues to be challenging by the end. The language is suffocating, descriptive, awe-inspiring. A perfect book to read on a sweltering summer day.

Dialog-heavy, thought-provoking, quick-paced.

An understanding of Korean culture and its other references can make a difference while reading. There are a lot of references to people in all sorts of art mediums, but also this book is connected to the author's Korean identity.… (meer)
