I'm going to have to come back later and review this more fully after I have more time to digest everything. I don't know how to rate something like this.
A diary of total breakdown - academic, personal, artistic, legal, moral, discursive collapse of modern society. There's some respite and hope in huddling together and embracing the small pleasures of the senses, but not a ton. I'm reminded a lot of Delany's Dhalgren and Anzaldua's Borderlands. I'm left facing the ghost of Christmas future; is this a picture of what will be, or what may be?
Also all the true crime podcast listeners need to read this, especially the part about the crimes (one of the only sections of a novel I had to put down entirely).
