The book is full of (philosophy, literature, pop culture... beauty, art, time, death...class, wealth vs poverty) lofty subjects, crammed into the heads of two pathological geniuses, their erudite narrations alternate, failed to entertain me, no matter what perspective I endeavor. A satire? A reference read for school project? A pseudo Proustian, nice try? I found some pearls - adage, metaphor, axiom, but couldn't thread these into a necklace. Since the book dedicates one chapter on Consonance (art), there may be consonance of a single thought and a simple abstract expression here and there, but the whole book lack consonance. Aristocracy of the heart, what an incongruent claim Rene has. Does author want to ridicule the heroine with what she intend to disdain or elude to value?
