I think it's so we are able to put ourselves in his shoes easily. It also enables the writer to tell the story with a lot of freedom.Sinclairess wrote: ↑25 Jan 2020, 12:06 Hello, all! I have recently finished the book and am excited. After mulling the story over in my head... I... well...
I don't think the main protagonist has a name? Or does he? Did I miss something? Just trying to make sure I'm not crazy. I know my memory isn't stellar, but I don't think I missed such an important thing. I also don't think there was any physical description of him (besides the weight observations and eventual graying hair).
And if you agree that there is no name, what do you think the larger purpose of this is, if any? I think maybe he's supposed to be a vague shell that any type of man can insert his mind and experiences into. I also think that's why he identified with so many men around the world, even though they were strangers.

Yeah it makes it difficult to identify him or discuss him as a character. That's the downside.Anuvamsha S A wrote: ↑23 May 2022, 10:54 I noticed that too. Thanks to my friend one day she asked me what was the name of the protagonist and I was like wait his name is.. And then I realized I'm halfway through the book and I don't even know his name. At first, I was like did I miss something. Later I found the author was actually the narrator so he must be Eytan or I named him the go-with-the-flow guy or Rachels's husband or the one who wore pink bracelet more often.
