A Charming Novella

Camera is a charming novella narrated by a seemingly shallow fellow who becomes entranced with a woman he meets at a driving school. The narration is interesting; at the beginning of the novel, he seems to be just reporting at face value random intervals of his life. As the novella progesses, he becomes more introspective and existential, less chatty. This is an interesting read that is perfect for this short length. A little thought provoking, always entertaining, and, perhaps most importantly, knows when to stop.
