The character Mates is injected into the story with no background to let us know who he is, how his name is pronounced, or if he is based on a cultural being. He seems to be an energy that takes on life when humans do something for which they feel guilty.
In a small way, it makes me examine my own assumptions and my perspective based on race privilege. But more strongly, I read this more as a voyeur observing a foreign culture. It's a good enough novel to pass on to friends, tho (since it is so far removed from my own reality) not one I will keep in my personal collection. ( )
