Luscious language and a very strange, flighty narrative made this whole thing completely gripping throughout. So many balls out of left field along with the questioning of the narrator; an (ostensible?) Buddhist priest maneuvering through a world that looks, feels alien to them for surprisingly reasons. And an at once trite, yet soulful and human analysis between themselves and again, ostensible?, twin - who, again, navigates the world in a completely foreign way—yet also sometimes bridges the gaps in understanding through their unusual, intuitive communication. 

Sprinkled throughout are moments of history and culture running parallel to the almost New Weird plot. Again, it just makes it completely compelling and gripping. Read this like a fast fever.
