Title: Poignant and disturbing
Product review: I found this story to be very sad but a great story about despair and the quest to find meaning in one's life. I'm not sure that the characters in the story ever find stability, but they do glimpse at authenticity at moments. The story is a bit disturbing by its sense of hopelessness and consistent passivity, but then most good existentialist (nihilistic?) tales are like that. I recommend this book because of the author's great ability to show us the inner emotions (or lack thereof) of his characters. It is a fast read (I read it in a night), but readers will most likely reread the ending a couple times and still won't be sure of it.
