An interesting story and narrative which leaves you hanging then segues to what appears to be a nearly unrelated story "Carving Babies". I enjoyed the character development and playfulness, but at the end, it left me wondering. ( ) This is one of the strangest books I have read in a while. It starts off with the main character getting shot in the head at very close range and subsequently becoming blind. It is never explained who did the shooting or why. The story then really begins with his rehabilitation and the life he leads as a blind man. He is medically, certifiably blind but he can see at night, or can he? It just gets weirder and weirder the further you go down the rabbit hole with him. Totally engrossing, fully realised and mind fucking. Bloody Brilliant. I honestly don't know what to make of this book. It was annoying and yet compelling; filled with images of seedy hotels, institutions, strange, unlikeable and nasty characters and irritating details. Hard to tell what was real and what wasn't. So perhaps, Thomson succeeded "blinding" me into reading the book through. geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe
