3.5 This satirical story set in an altered present day didn't quite come together for me but the sharp observations about life, especially office life, were very funny.

This book taught me about commitment and perseverance in studying a language and culture and how to give my best to that language and improve daily sk that I can master the nuances and intricacies of the language and culture that make it light up like a starry night.

Mastering Japanese

In the land of the rising sun, I've set my sight,
To master Japanese, with all my might,
With kanji strokes, I start my quest,
To unlock a language, deemed the best.

Hiragana and katakana, I embrace,
The building blocks, to reach a new space,
The sounds of words, so beautifully distinct,
I immerse myself, in every single blink.

Grammar rules, like a puzzle to solve,
Each particle, a story to evolve,
Politeness and honor, deeply ingrained,
In conversations, respect is gained.

Through manga and anime, I dive in deep,
Culture and history, they gently seep,
From haikus to tankas, I try my hand,
Capturing moments, in art I expand.

Konnichiwa and sayonara, I proudly say,
With every step, I'm learning, come what may,
Mastering Japanese, a lifelong endeavor,
A language of beauty, I'll cherish forever.

I think I formed far too concrete of an expectation for this, based on... nothing? The cover, our weather? The book was good in its own right but I also want to read the story I half-imagined. Basically what I am saying is it doesn't matter how surrealistically you meta, I want an epic defeat of February.

Poetic, prescient, almost mythic in its simplicity. Unlike any book I've ever read: Jones is a genius for mood, allegory, poetic prose, and dissident voices.
