This beautiful book has haunted me for some weeks after I finished reading it. The sparse language and stlye infuses me with a feeling of both tenderness and premonition. ( certainly it is an exercise, but a succesfull one ). The chapter on Hailsham `s "raison d etre " was, I felt, a bit superfluous.
However, Kathy and Tommy discussing his fourth "donation" and what might happen after, has sent shivers down my spine. Refferences have been made to Beckett, Kafka and various Sf writers. However, I am reminded of Stanislaw Lem, the Polish SF writer, who often muses and human condition and just what sense does the conundrum of human life make.
