It took me nearly ten days to read this not-too-long book. It was intentional. I think each and every sentence of the book is there for some reason, although I could not get the reason to some!

The story revolves around a silly happening in today's world where the Internet exists and is a common modality for communication. The happening is simple when you get it , but getting it is not so simple! The writer himself claims in one of the beginning pages that he is going to narrate in a manner that resembles the way a crab walks; going forward and backward in a way that the overall result is a slow forward movement . So, the whole story is a continuous movement between memories and present realities. This is very innovative to write a novel in such a method, isn't it?!

The way he builds the characters gradually is quite artistic. It gave me a good sense of the people who had been zealous , rather overzealous, about their ideas before , during and after the second world war, and how they used to think and act.

Moreover , his presentation of the war is fair and not too much pro-jew, which is the case with so many famous art pieces about the war. Despite the fact that , at the end you start to think negatively about Nazis, new or old, you get to consider the dogmatic approach taken by the jews, which is not noticeably more civilized than the Nazis'.
The book looks at the world war from a different angle.

It is worth mentioning that I read the Persian translation of the book and it was quite satisfactory.

Overall, I recommend everybody, specifically those who do not like to read very clearly cut stories, to go for this read. I really learned to look at modern story telling from a better , more advanced point of view.
Cheers!
