Why read it?
1 author picked No Word from Gurb as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
I read the book when I moved to another country (Spain). I badly needed to distract myself and see the better side of life.
At the time I could definitely identify with a lost alien who had landed in a new environment, not understanding much of the country and its people. The absurdity of the story of said alien not knowing what to do intrigued me.
From M.P.'s list on heroes weathering the adversities of existence.
