Why read it?

1 author picked A Strangeness in My Mind as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

My favorite books are ones that make me feel like I’ve lived a whole other life. A Strangeness in my Mind does all that and more.

It transports me to another country, into another person’s life whose experience is so distant from my own yet still feels familiar. I got to know the city the main character lives in, its history, and what those around him really think but would never tell him.

It uses a mockumentary-style narrative but doesn’t lean too hard into it.
