Reread Detour

All my friends are reading Sebald, so I checked some of his books out from the library and chose to reread two books I originally read in 2018: The Idiot by Batuman and Invisibility Cloak by Ge Fei. The Idiot touches on a few books I've covered recently, while Invisibility Cloak is more of a "I don't know what the fuck the reviewers are going on about and I'm also not sure what's going on in this book?!" style of a review.

As with everything I've reread recently, I like it more on reread than I did when I first read it… Let's start with The Idiot, since I have less to say there.
