31/10/10 - Damon Galgut - In a Strange Room

South African man traveling the world - but not really engaging in anyone or anywhere he goes - nor me for that matter. The protagonist seems just such an observer and passive. The constant switching between first and third person was also annoying - I am sure there was a clever point to it - author/lead character alternating - but I still didn't like it. The third part of the book was more engaging - but too tragic and sad.
