This is an extremely abstract book. I felt like it was trying to dog into how humans make connections and how language is so important for that. The relationship between the Greek teacher who is losing his sight and the woman who can’t speak was fascinating to think about because communication is very limited. I feel like I have so many random thoughts about this
