  • Flaws of characters a main focus? Yes

3.0

Strange, strange book told from the perspective of a ball that floats in front of a man’s head. Some commentary on capitalism, globalism, environmental exploitation, etc. but I was not too entranced by it. That being said, I found some specific characters such as Kazumasa and JB to be interesting to read into. I recognize some of the prose is nice but just not my thing.
