A Wild Sheep Chase
While I am still very confused about A Wild Sheep Chase, I am eager to continue reading as the mystery unfolds. To me, this book is very unique because it is a "Hard-Boiled Detective" story, and I don't think I have ever read one before. However, it is not the typical hard-boiled detective story you might see in a movie, and it is especially different from a normal detective story. I think this is mainly because the events are so odd and perhaps even supernatural, as we discussed in class. There are still many unknown aspects to the story including every single character and what their importance is to the mystery of the sheep in the picture.
This novel depicts postmodern writing because it recalls issues surrounding World War II when "the boss" was imprisoned for war crimes. In addition, the story features many out of the ordinary aspects and does not need to make sense or be logical in its structure or reasoning.
Hopefully, in the end everything will unfold entirely and suddenly it will all make sense and be surprising and unexpected.

Good work. Does everything need to make sense? Have you ever seen the Talking Heads movie Stop Making Sense? Hmm.
