I just finished reading this. It was pretty good. But one thing I don't understand about the ending did Paul die or was that the effect of the shroom trip? Can someone explain this?

I've been wanting to read this book for while now. I'm just glad I've been on /lit/ long enough now to learn that Taipei was originally in taiwanese. Any tips on learning the language?

he didnt die but had an experience many people have on mushrooms where you feel like life is changed forever.

but it should be clear to you that hes not dead by the last passage in the book where he looks down at his wet sandal or something and feels grateful for being alive.
