A strange old man who never left his hometown, yet once destroyed countless nations. A strange married couple: the man is the wife, and the woman is the husband... And a strange father and son: the father actually calls his own son “Dad.”
The story is bizarre and outlandish, yet everything makes sense. It may seem absurd, but its logic is airtight.
The whole novel is lighthearted, witty, and hilarious, with one laugh after another. But its portrayal of human nature and friendship is also deeply thought-provoking and sharply insightful. Even as it leaves you sighing, it feels utterly real and convincing.
