Moving Parts, by Magdalena Tulli

I've had Moving Parts as well as a second Magdalena Tulli book on my shelves for some time and I'd considered reading each before but never actually settled on reading them until Moving Parts was selected for my Women in Translation book club. Finally, I have read a Polish book. This has long felt like a gap in my world reading project that I should be able to fill easily.

Moving Parts is hard to pin down, appropriately, I suppose, given its title. It's a work of meta fiction that operates on a dream logic, observing a narrator trying to follow the characters and in a struggle with the creator. I found it to be a slog at first, but it picked up about midway through and I ended up quite liking it, though without a whole lot to say about it. It's taken me 2 weeks to get around to finishing this post. I almost feel the need to reread it to understand it better.
