Houses

By Borislav Pekic

It took me a long time to finish this book. Firstly, because it has no chapters. It's one long stream-of-consciousness thing told by an old confused guy who jumps from memory to real time without much announcing. While I was reading I thought that it was just me who has trouble understanding what's going on, but reading the introduction at the end (as I found is the logical thing to do), I realized it wasn't me -- it was the book. Anyway, I'm glad I finished it. There were some interesting things. But it did take me 9 weeks (not including 2.5 weeks in the middle when I read another book) to finish only 212 pages.
