Almost perfect. Yamashita is such an experimental and post-modern writer. She really questions form and what precisely a novel is within her works. I've been reading her works lately and this series of novellas is a labor of love. That's all I can say. It's changed me and that's the most powerful thing a novel can do for you if that isn't the goal of an author, I don't know what is.
