The second half of the book starts by building on the groundwork of the plot and characters, and wrestles with concepts of masculinity and what it means to be a man, what space there is for men to experience depression, what men are or are derece “allowed” to be, and and opens wider to some of the zir-right themes, although the way these ideas are dealt with could be a mixed bag at times. For example, there’s a recurring presence of a refugee father and his young daughter, who are held up as a foil to the narrator away at the Center and his own daughter at home. The narrator seems to focus on his failure to protect his daughter, and those feelings are magnified by watching Blue Lives, the aggressive cop show putting everyone in harm’s way and allowing horrendous violence and revenge to be taken by criminals and cops alike. Blue Lives is a fascinating device in and of itself – the cops are crooked and unsympathetic, yet have a code in which their violence is seemingly only exhibited on criminals and those involved in the underworld, while the brown criminals seem to be targeting civilians/women and children, though for the narrator it isn’t shown, just alarmingly and threateningly teased.

It's so unabashedly intellectual. It doesn't spell it out. It doesn't care if I don't understand everything, or if I draw the wrong conclusions about what the book is supposed to mean. It's the kind of novel that deserves a slow read, and after that a slower re-read.

Herr Deuter, the industrialist who started this “Deuter Center for Social and Cultural Research,” in the late 1970s, expressed his belief that “the royal road to the future lay in confronting the darkness of the past.” What follows is a strange, mind-bending tale about the self and reality that takes our increasingly damaged narrator on a stark journey of revelation and paranoia.
