Joseph Walser's Machine is a fascinating and beautifully written character-study from Tavares' 'Kingdom'-reality. With much that is simplified and reduced to a basic, mechanical level it has the feel of an exercise in parable -- and it also feels like a piece of a larger picture (as, as a volume in a multi-volume series, it is). A very good piece of work -- and the best starting point into Tavares' 'Kingdom'-books (of the ones available in English).
