rating:
The first two sections reminded me of Genet with a little bit less of the Henry Miller-esque rambling structure. Thankfully it didn't completely continue in that direction, endlessly equating homosexuality with depravity. Although that was certainly still touched upon, the last two sections were a bit more narrative driven and there are actual flesh and blood characters instead of mirrored reflections of an overblown ego.
I felt terrible for Sonoko. She drew my sympathies far more than the narrator.
