The Book of Form and Emptiness by Ruth OzekiMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
Hearing voices. Sounds like a work day in my office. However, this is such an imaginative voice with heart warming push and pull of the mother son relationship - both mourning over the same person loss. Benny eventually finds friends he feels a belonging to. His mum finds relieve from the ties of objects to the past. It’s interesting that Benny heard the voice of objects and his mum’s hoarding is an equivalent- anthropologising human qualities to objects. It reveals the humanity of those cast aside by society.
