Ben, In the World

Ben’s journeys feel dreamlike and unsettling — I wonder how the surreal aspects influence our understanding of who he is and what he’s searching for.

The narrative moves at a thoughtful speed, but I’m curious if that slow pace made the emotional moments more impactful or if it dragged for others.

The global settings add a layer of disorientation that mirrors Ben’s inner journey. I wonder if her own travels or experiences influenced this choice.
