4.0
Super interesting experimental novel--the author takes five "retellings" of one story (they're really all by him) and interweaves them together to show how masculine violence can take form over time. At times I had a hard time keeping it straight, but such an interesting structure for a novel, it was really interesting and made me think. Would be a good book to discuss with other readers.
