Funny book insomuch as I only started to enjoy it in the days after reading it. There’s little story as such but a deep meaning reveals itself almost by stealth. Fatalism , existentialism or just Billy, in his silver shoes dealing with a psychosis induced by the horrors of war. Yeah, I recommend this book, it really is a whole lotta nothing and a whole lotta something at the same time. I’ve only seen the Irish manage that before but this chap got it in spades.
