Whimsical Melancholy
Whatever that actually means.
It's the best description of what I got out of the poetic language and quirky characters and...and...ah, I don't know...
I can't say I was ever completely following what was going on in this strange little book. It is told completely in dialog...but unlike a play, we are not given the "he said, she said" indicators of who is speaking or even how many people are in the conversation.
A second read would probably help me understand what actually happened, but I don't think I will...I kind of like the off-kilter feeling I have right now.
