With all due respect, you may want to place this book back on the shelf. Not because it lacks meaning, but because it demands something most are unwilling to give - honesty with oneself.
This is not a story meant to comfort you. It will not explain itself gently, not will it ask for your understanding. It is a descent into depth, into silence, into the quiet participation we often deny in our undoing. If you are like the faceless, there only to witness, never to feel, then this book will mean nothing to you.
But if you are willing to confront what you've buried, then perhaps you will find that this was never just a story.
