With skillful enough authors, the black and white on the paper can mix into color. This book, a correspondence of letters between enemies on the frontline of a time war, is best described as experimental fiction. Unfocused, confusing, and challenging to read, the experience is still rewarding and satisfying. The letters blur the lines between poetry, prose, and insanity. Wartime romance tropes are present, but only as incidental symbolism, barely noticeable. Seldom giving hints about the world the protagonists live in, the narrative focuses more on the purple thread that connects the main character Red and Blue.
Experimental, Romanic, Hard Science Fiction; not for casual reading, but can be read casually.
Highly recommend for readers looking for original, provocative, cerebral literature. Highly discourage others.
