Charmingly bizzare
3 stars
A very intellectual novel making a profound point that, so far at least, is just beyond my comprehension.

When a young man's girlfriend mysteriously vanishes, he sets his heart on finding the imaginary city where her true self lives. When he finally makes it to the walled city, a shadowless place of horned beasts and willow trees, he finds his beloved working in a dream library. But she has no memory of their life together in the other world and, as the lines between reality and fantasy start to blur, he must decide what he's willing to lose.
