David While a lot of it is drool and trivial diary entries, Anais, from time to time offers up some very unique insights on life and what it means to be alive in her community. The character sketches are pretty good, and she has a refreshing ambivalence about ideologies, or programs. A sort of refined hedonist who never is boring, and has a great sense of her surroundings.
