Ryu does nothing but having sex and doing drugs with his friends. All descriptions are cold and without any emotion. They are, however, full of flavour. Odors of sweat, a decaying pineapple, semen etc make Ryu vomiting regularly, which he describes in detail.
An empty existence, but in the end we get an occasional glimpse of the underlying characters. Their backgrounds, doubts, and search for meaning. #1001books Picture: The Hague
