This one sucked me in on so many levels - the local color, the incredibly prescient quality of a novel written in the 1970s, the language, and the way she makes this utterly unreal world hang together with its own logic. Fascinating and surprisingly deep considering its short length.
Very high concept; mind-bending. I wish the producers and creators of the series Man in the Castle would take a look at this book.
