A philosophy outsider’s point of view: when the main character started bringing ghosts - and their importance to his viewpoint - into the story is where it went off the rails.
That’s where I stopped last time. The book for me is more about focusing around a concept and then circling it, finding the contours and at least marking it so you know when it’s there and can identify it.
I thought ghosts were just a metaphor for his own surpressed memories?
Agreed. Ghosts were anything but the conventional definition in the book.
