Oh yes, I agree 100%. I yearned for more, for a 1000 pager, but that was just because I liked the feeling while reading. It was written really well. But a 1000 page book would have totally destroyed the work. It was perfect as it. The brevity played into what it tried to symbolise. You might also know, but it reminded me of the poem of Whitman, I think, who said the world is a grain of sand in the palm of his hand, or something like that.
