this book clearly wants to be compared to Borges and Calvino, but my experience reading it was more like The Cabinet by Un-Su Kim, or kind of like watching a season of mushi-shi. Although the biggest departure from those kinds of media is the academic-Catholic themes. Which just made me want to reread The Sparrow by Mary Doria Russell.
The Afflictions is very short, but not too short. It contains a thesis about three-quarters of the way through.
