At last - a book that lives up to its reviews! This short novel is funny, clever, wonderfully written and amazingly well thought out. What the reviews don't say is that it is also rather frightening and a parable for the world and the times we live in, and it doesn't bode terribly well. Written as a series of letters, it is oddly about language, treachery, misery, love and friendship. I recommend it hugely.
