Your perceptions of meaning and self will be challenged by this read
A lot of books wrestle with the idea of meaning, the eternal quest to understand. Ben Oswest’s book may well be one of them. But I’m not entirely sure.
This is the challenge and the delight of the book, the paradox that it plays with inside its covers (I think), delivered amidst a most blindingly dazzling display of wordsmithery. Who cares what he is saying, when he says it so brilliantly?
