dystopian and surreal but also really compellingly written.
plodding and ponderous and also page-turningly tense.
the characters are truly unlikeable: the victim wholly deserves his desserts three out of four siblings are hypomanic or personality disordered and the hangers-on are unprepossessing and unreal.
the overarching theme appears to be the old wuxia revenge worked out in a western clime. if i were an asian immigrant to the u.s. this book would totally depress me.
