It is little known, infrequently in print and I actually began to wonder if I had imagined it. I was reminded of it recently when involved in a debate about the existence of shell.I have reread it. It is flawed but it is a masterpiece. The first 60% is unputdownable. The last 40% could be shorter.One thing which is rarely said about the book is that it is VERY funny. Even at it's darkest, which is black as the blackest black thing, it bristles with little jokes. Think about the paintings of Hieronimus Bosch (spelling) and you will get the picture. It is also surprisingly modern in its direct way of writing and wonderfully strange.I don't pretend to understand its philosophy but I believe it has its roots in Gnosticism and makes more than a passing nod at Buddhism. It is deeply pessimistic but eventually achieves a kind of weird serenity.The scene in the dairy is also one of the most haunting pieces of writing I have yet discovered.The word "entrails" appears in it much more often than it does in any other book I have ever read and I am a bowel surgeon.This book is said to have inspired Kafka and will appeal to all those who have glimpsed behind the curtain and seen the mechanisms which move the scenery.Fans of Haruki Murakami are particularly invited. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Life in the more difficult to get at places inside your own head *by A***E on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 12 March 2007* A difficult book to describe, since so much of its impact comes from the atmosphere of strangeness and the unsettling visionary quality of some passages. It recounts how the narrator, an artist, comes to live in the Dreamland, daily life in this odd place ruled by a distant and god-like monarch, and its ultimate catastrophic end.So what's it like? It bears a resemblance to some of Haruki Murakami's work - especially Hard Boiled Wonderland. In fact I wonder if Murakami has read it? The only other remotely comparable work is Gustav Meyrink's The Golem - another obscure work by a European author dealing in the night-time of the mind.Actually it is unlike anything. It's not even like itself. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ This is a (in a good sense) weird book *by A***R on Reviewed in Mexico on 1 February 2017* Not horror, not exactly, but it contains some horrible and scary passages. Not a dystopia but it tells the story of a decadent utopic city.This is a good book. Not perfect, not great, but unique which is better than good. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.pe/products/55989827-the-other-side](https://www.desertcart.pe/products/55989827-the-other-side) --- *Product available on Desertcart Peru* *Store origin: PE* *Last updated: 2026-04-23*
