As other reviewers have said, I very nearly gave up on this book a time or two.  I kept thinking the author was attempting to out-Kafka Kafka.  It was the language itself that kept me reading, and not a small amount of curiosity as to the symbolism.  I am so glad I kept reading to discover the simple yet powerful messages to be found.  I noted that one reviewer carped about the Beatles quotes supposedly having all this meaning.  Well, they do, especially for those of us who remember the times.  It's not that universal truths are not timeless, but there are special moments when they are rediscovered and celebrated. I think we all, when we stop to consider, yearn for those times.  I can imagine how a troubled psyche might especially wish for those times when truth and beauty seem so simple and easily obtained.
