The book of form and emptiness review5/26/2023 ![]() ![]() ![]() Benny falls in love with Alice, and Alice, in turn, shows him how important it is to heal. Eccentric and philosophical, Slavoj’s character is bound to capture the reader’s attention as he rises above being just a comic distraction in the story and drops gems about the world and the fuel on which it runs. He acts as a mentor to the kid and shows him how one can find poetry, even in garbage. The best part about the book, however, is the all-knowing writer, named Slavoj, whom Benny befriends at a library. It dives deep into the larger practical (and philosophical) steps that help a person to move on––both physically and spiritually. Benny, on whose thought process Ozeki mostly zeroes in, begins to hear voices from the objects around him.Įarlier this year, The Book of Form and Emptiness won the Women’s Prize for Fiction and it’s not difficult to guess why. Her job––Annabelle is a news tracker in a world preceding the digital revolution-leads her to hoard things such as newspapers, CDs, magazines, and even items that may not be of any materialistic value. ![]()
