There are some lyrical passages, but for the most part this was just too cynical for me. Surprisingly dissimilar to The Sailor Who Fell From Grace with the Sea, which was soft and beautiful. Also the only available translation is just atrocious. <br/> <br/><br/><a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/list/123201?utm_medium=api&utm_source=blog_review">View all my reviews.</a>
