Exceeding strange, this one . . . a large dose of the incomprehensible -- and another reminder of why we keep McCamy around. :wink:

It's striking, how the characterization is so indirect, and yet so positive. Are the characters described anywhere? Not much, but they seem real . . .

The richness of the descriptive language is amazing. Stuff like,
She offers me a banana. It tastes of moonlight and the first word spoken by the first human millions of years ago and the rain that will fall next week.
It's all closer to poetry than prose.

Very strange. Very pretty.
I was raised by humans. What's your excuse?
