This book was not really about ‘story’ but conversations with interesting people who the main character Faye met throughout her journey in Greece. 「物語」ではなく、主人公 Fayeがギリシャで出会う人々との「会話」を楽しむ一冊。 It had a lot of black humour in it that made me smirk. Almost like a guilty pleasure, I found it hard to put it down. So many conversations I almost wanted to underline, just because they sounded so perfectly written! ブラック・ユーモアたっぷりで、思わず何度も鼻で笑ってしまいました。ずるずると引き込まれ、読みだしたら止まらない、そんな魅力があります。マーカーでハイライトしておきたくなってしまうような、完璧！な文章をいくつも見つけました。 It reminded me of Flights / Olga Tokarczuk a lot. If Flights was a collage of beautiful pictures, Outline was like a very insightful Instagram feed, including proverbs from someone you just met, and observations of people you happened to meet. All the people appeared…
