Well this was definitely an interesting novel to end on. The Society of Reluctant Dreamers of all the novels really had a unique style/flow/feel and I felt like I never really knew where the novel was headed. Often just as I thought I understood the gist of a certain scene or passage a final line or action flipped my understanding on its head. And honestly that was a really enjoyable experience as a reader. I will say for all the looseness with time and topic I still felt like not only was the story but the point or meaning was building and changing as well, yet always going somewhere. Possibly it’s all down to this being a more modern book with a modern flow but either way the overall reading experience definitely felt more familiar compared to the older books. Furthermore there are a lot of short impactful sentences at the end of chapters or sections that i’m not quite sure I know what they mean, but have an impact anyway. Whether it be conversation between Hossi and Daniel or any of their own personal thoughts these short sentences carry a lot of weight. The other thing that I think really adds to the overall atmosphere/quality of the book is the frank yet real approach towards the portrayal of violence, it’s neither gratuitous or unnecessary which is always good. This frankness with the traumas of these lives combined with the fantastical element of the dreams, that connects the main characters, gives a real yet at the same time ethereal character to the work. There is a large cast of characters that add a lot of flair to the entire novel. The interviews and conversations that Daniel has throughout are really interesting but often leave me more confused than at the beginning of them. These characters are full of contradiction, both within themselves and with their actions, such as Hussi or Paulo/Jean. Hussi is a seemingly nice man who has forgotten his past, due to fantastical lighting strikes, yet can switch to violence and brutality in an instant. He is a torturer and has a violent past yet through Daniel’s friendship we are given the likeable human side of this man. Like Hussi says himself it is difficult to deal with the multiple facets of a man so at ease with violent pragmatism. It is hard to see one side and accept the other. As for my question, Which of the books you read was your favourite and why?
