This is one of the most challenging books I have read. Hard to say that I really enjoyed it, but I really appreciated it. Stylistically, it was outside my typical comfort zone.
I will be spending some time reading more about it to better understand the narrative style, which strikes me is more oral based. Reading some of the other reviews here, I agree that the narrative is not just circular but continues to circle back on itself and refine the story and the details.
