Happy as a child

We can read this novel with many different eyes. It’s an investigation. It’s a search for a coveted object, but it’s also about what a person may do to pursue a passion, about how far one may venture in pursuit of that passion. We can step into the world of pipes and understand the shape of pipes and take a peek at what drives this passion. And we can experience the ecstatic appeal of the Jewish Kabbalah. Or we can just forget about everything, sit back, and enjoy what the author has invented for us.
