At times humorous, disturbing, or surreal, reading Innocence, In a Sense is like having a dream. It certainly seems like something important is going on if only you could make sense of it. Impermanence is the rule with shifting scenes and fluid identities. Characters inexplicably age or grow younger. The protagonist will suddenly become deathly afraid of something for no apparent reason. In a way, this book is a satire of existence.
As in the dream world, mundane chores often take on epic significance. Various temp jobs blur together into a single Sisyphean task. Our protagonist moves from one residence to another without any explanation, becoming obsessed with first one girl, then another. It’s as if a life has been pressed between the pages and different moments have been combined together with a dreamlike fabric. While the story may not make any logical sense, certain emotional truths remain intact.
Small insecurities get magnified when played out upon the dream stage. As the real and surreal blur together, readers discover that the nonsense may not be nonsense after all, but perhaps a metaphor for what’s happening in real life.
