Darkly funny and it is designed so pages are laid out like very long footnotes. I‘ve done translation work, and have friends who do. The frustrations are very real, and at times ‘what fresh hell is this?‘ Great style and development, twist ending where the real life translator of the novel makes an appearance!

I joined the Asymptote Book Club and just received my first book surprise! (It sounds very meta but interesting)
