i can't describe this with another word apart from 'crazy'. totally mental. an angry creature pulled out together by rats out of scraps from a garbage pail. i don't think i need to say much more. everchanging dreamy and nightmarish landscapes, random violence and a kind heart underlying it all. and an exciting adventure full of fun, too. it even includes a reference to don quijote!! i'm absolutely lost for words. just read it.
"wasp larvae eating the living guts of carterpillars! abominable cheeses and repugnant sausages! pasty-faced mushrooms thriving on the rotten flesh of decaying stumps!! it is a loathsome system of eating and being eaten!"
i love you, billy hazelnuts.
