'The Car' is a truly unique and well thought out work of speculative fiction. I choose to label it thusly because, while not really hard sci-fi or fantasy, there are odd and otherworldly elements to the story. Told from several different perspectives, the narrative follows a disordered order that allows the reader to gleen different meanings from the story depending on how they approach it. I don't think I would be remiss in saying this is a highly allegoric book; one that focuses on the subjectiveness of truth and religious belief. The laconic prose flow easily and make turning the page something to look forward to. Give it a shot if you are looking for a quick read that both original and thought provoking.
