This is definitely a book only a translator could write, I'm not sure i can like condense my thoughts on it into one review because its like 3 times removed from reality but i also suspect its a form of auto-fiction?? I know this author translates for Olga Togarczuk and then like references that many times in the book, but the book is a novel within a novel translated by one of the characters the "story" is based on. You'll see, its crazy. Its one of those books where kind of nothing happens but its still so weird and mysterious and meta so it was good. Extremely well-written i think i wanted a diff ending is all
