About
Not for you if you want a straightforward story or you’re put off by surreal, emotionally rough, and occasionally graphic imagery; you may prefer similar mood-check titles like Endless Poetry or Prospero's Books.
Pros: surreal and vivid; emotionally human; unforgettable energy | Cons: hard to follow; graphic and intense; pacing can drag
