So many diverse elements of this very modern, time-shifting novel appeal to me (photography, popular culture, difficult father/son relationship, the German Democratic Republic, surveillance and homosexuality) that I'm surprised I didn't enjoy it more. Maybe because Deborah Levey's protagonist is so beautiful that he lives in what Tina Fey identified as "the bubble," a place where other people desire you even though you're completely oblivious to them. Narcissism just isn't that interesting.
