Beautiful World, Where Are You

This book is conflicting... I wouldn't say I quite recommend it, not even sure I liked it, but I was slightly moved in the end. The first three quarters of the book dragged on in a sad philosophical portrait of late 20s early 30s life sorta way. I kept waiting for something to actually happen, and then finally much of the conflict subtlety hinted at during the first part of the book came to surface. It was beautiful in a melancholy way, and even briefly satisfying. Then the book wrapped up with three short conclusion chapters, leaving me a little adrift. I wanted more, but was also relieved to be done...
