He believes himself to be in love with Eve, who is an attractive and promiscuous hard drinker and drug user. Does the novel’s linguistic and structural complexity explain why it’s been so long since your last book?It is narrated in the first person by several characters (including a butterfly), but mainly by Adam and Eve, two school students.
