This novel is divided in two parts, each with a different protagonist. The first was a slog for me: the character we follow is not of sound mind- he relays his journey to reach his mother's home. The 2nd part is a little easier to follow since this character is sane (or saner), but both consist mostly of thoughts while wandering in the woods. I know Beckett is brilliant and there's probably a ton of stuff I'm missing, but I couldn't get into it.
