A Challenging But Worthwhile Read
This is not a book to be read lightly. It's been two and a half months since I read it, and I haven't been able to get it out of my head since. The plot lines are so complex, intricate, and compelling that I had to read many passages multiple times just to fully grasp the depth of the writing.
Kursewicz's mastery of the English language is displayed throughout the work, but the novel's opening line deserves special mention. In a single 20-word sentence, the author manages to convey to mystery, uncertainty, and ultimate futility of life. "...a planet that may or does contain life that is intelligent." Incredible.
The character development is also worthy of high praise. From Sally's selfless sacrifice near the beginning, to the narrator's constant struggle to understand his situation, no character seems stale or stereotypical. And Kursewicz's philosophical insights are second only to Heidegger or possibly Foucault. At the line "I was a T-Rex" I literally gasped out loud. Aren't we all just T-Rexes in the end? Astounding.
I highly recommend you read this book, but be sure that you can dedicate the time and energy that such a complex work demands. It'll be well worth it.
