"...to live is ro regularly suffer loss."

The prose was stunning - lyrical  language and evocative imagery.

This novella was thoroughly disorientating, which was reflective of the narrator's confusion and unease as the story progressed.

This was uncomfortable and graphic, but I couldn't put  it down

I do not know what the author was going for with this book. There is no art here, that I can see. Nothing about this story nor the characters make any sense. At least it was short?

A trip

Wow, a heartbreaking read with a whirlwind of action. So much imagery that physically made me cringe. Quick but long lasting
