And for something this elusive and abstract it kind of needs to. Not enough plot or satisfying character development for it to function as a story, and not atmospheric or visual enough to succeed as a mood piece. It reminded me of Time Snake and Super Clown of all things, which I also wasn't a fan of, though this preceded it and is less pulpy and more "literary". Quite different novels in a lot of ways, but both are trippy narratives where an unreliable narrator/male protagonist is constantly pursuing some vague female apparition through a mysterious, dystopian world. Kavan creates a nightmare world that is also reality, seamlessly shifting between a global crisis to dream fugues, from a surreal search across borders that are never defined to a man's realization that the boundaries of his identity are similarly fragile. The prose is unrivaled: it flows in and out of confusion just like the narrative's logic does. sem resenhas | adicionar uma resenha

In this haunting and surreal novel, the narrator and a man known as the warden search for an elusive girl in a frozen, seemingly post-nuclear, apocalyptic landscape. The country has been invaded and is being governed by a secret organization. There is destruction everywhere; great walls of ice overrun the world. Together with the narrator, the reader is swept into a hallucinatory quest for this strange and fragile creature with albino hair. Acclaimed upon its 1967 publication as the best science fiction book of the year, this extraordinary and innovative novel has subsequently been recognized as a major work of literature in its own right.
