Read it a long time ago in Polish, now rereading it in English. One day I'll read it in Japanese :)I really enjoy the story - it has this air of uneasiness, comparable only to Junji Ito work, but without resorting to any unnatural matters. Nothing out of ordinary happens in that book, but at the same time, the puzzle presented by the author is very tasty and mysterious. With both Polish and English translations I've experienced the same thing - the style of writing felt very William Gibson like. Can't exactly put my finger on which property of the text makes me feel that, but it's very much Gibson - just not in cyberpunk flavour.
