Part of me wants to give this book 5 stars because it is actually a little but clever, but a much larger part of me can’t do it because it feels like a gimmick. I’m not sure there was ever a moment where I thought something really profound had been said in an interesting way. Maybe it’s the translation. In any case, it’s still very interesting and it’s short enough that the annoying things don’t get too annoying, and it does end ip having something interesting to say about identity.
