An existential epic that begins with a nod to the genesis. An absent father, an overbearing mother, an anti hero who seeks and spends her time to miss his life. The missing ???? a dazzling end that puts everything in perspective. What finally live? What does being happy? With an amazing symbolism (the mail) the author makes us feel deep and complex emotions. Worship as was the Treaty of Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance Robert Pirsig in. A decadent America and misery beings river make this book an experience that is worth trying.
