Well, I finally finished it. . .
Frankly, a difficult read for me. I could only read for a bit and then had to put it down. I needed the rest.
Worth the read though. It refused to take you where you thought it would go. My theory about it being about Jun Do and the Japanese opera singer he kidnaps for the State is WAY off base!
Though we do sort of find out what happened to her. And it ended on an odd tragically happy note with suicide, murder/suicide, murder, cruelty to animals, delusions lost and delusions retained, folk songs, and tattoo removal. All of which combined to make an oddly triumphant ending. I know this paragraph makes it sound humorous, but I assure you this is very much a tragedy.
It would make a great movie that could lose many millions of dollars, but it would be a great movie. (and if you read the book you will find out why that is a most appropriate comment!)
I doubt I'll ever forget it. . .
