yeah it was cool sometimes but this is one of those books I sort of half-read that I found in a free library strictly by looking at the cover. There is some perplexing things in here and it was sort of surreal but not for me. I didn't like the writing style.

Aż dziwne, że Gombrowicz jeszcze nie został wyklęty w tym kraju.

I will have to read it several more times to fully appreciate the form and the thought behind this story.
The novel sparkles with tension and is full of tiny details which grow to great sizes and swell up with hidden meanings. The author had an eagle eye surely because he managed to describe in detail the most vague and mysterious of human behaviours.
