Our unnamed thirty-year-old heroine is a great thinker. As she awaits the return of her boyfriend to their shared flat in Mexico City her thoughts range over many intellectual and mundane subjects: the Proust Questionnaire, the merits of different notebooks, metamorphosis, music, death, words, poetry. Sound boring? Definitely not, I loved it. Beautifully written, interesting, funny, perhaps a wee bit sad.
