3 stars for the plot, 4 stars for the surreal sense of isolation.2/2/16 - I've given this book a lot of thought. I was expecting it to be something it wasn't. That is no fault of the book. As an abstract psychological journey down a twisted path, this story is close to perfect. 5 stars. My, what a strange little book. I mean that as a compliment. It reminds me of the film The Double based upon a Dostoyevsky novella. I confess I haven't read the novella, but this book reads just like the film. I'm probably not making much sense, but for some reason the two feel very similar even though the plots are entirely different.... A beautifully told, darkly funny character study of a total loon (who defines the term "unreliable narrator") with major OCD issues and a possible propensity to murder. Michael McDowell was a wonderful writer with a twisted bent, and I'm happy that there are still several books left of his output that I've yet to read.
