Love these! Akbar’s prose is so rich in imagery, it’s no surprise he’s a poet. I loved this line:

The giraffe that had been lying there still was, lazily blinking his eyes open and closed. Its great neck curled like some alien punctuation.

I like these quotes and your philosophical analysis. This book has gotten very good reviews over the last few months. Did you enjoy it?

I did enjoy it! It's obviously not a light read but it's worth the review it's gotten. The writing and the metaphorical journey is top tier!
