A great read, and a fine testament to translator Howard Curtis's talent.
I feel a bit muddled by the book - I liked it, I think. I say 'I think' because there are acres if beautiful prose and yet somehow I couldn't relate to the hero at all. As if he wasn't fleshed out enough as a character. And yet I'm left with the sense that this was intentional, which leaves the characters and story going round in the back of my mind.

wonderfully poetic with a sucker punch towards the end. Dino is a sympathetic figure, just trying to understand the world around him.
