Hard to describe. There's a lot packed in this little story of stories, rewriting of how we tell stories, how stories keep stories alive. And how we must learn to tell stories differently if we're to survive the future. As most of the story is a circular, patterned thing with no beginning, middle, end (on purpose), the anchoring of the building of the Statue of Liberty (Cruces) was very grounding. There are several places where the lecture could have been more succinct or delivered differently (dialog instead of letters, for example), but everything does serve some purpose and provoke thought, so all in all, a great read. Lots of ponder. I never re-read books (who has time?!) but this one I might read again at some point. Recommended for those who like grumpy turtles, pennies, whales, boiler rooms, red velvet and messages in a bottle.
