4.0
Real Rating: 4.5* of five
I read this fifteen years ago and was entranced. Its focus is on the utterly incomprehensible world of adulthood and the unfathomable world of childhood bouncing off each other.
Author Varallo was able to make that evergreen topic into a fully involving topic by means of his selections—not one narrator, not one angle, but multiple lenses at different heights viewing a strangely similar target without the perspective to make sense of it.
High quality stuff. Heartily recommended.
