Felt like an edgy teenager's piece for a creative writing class. Eloquent writing at times but a rushed ending that felt unsatisfying. Would have been better as a short story or novella.

weird book, highly unlikeable protagonist, definitly intended to be read as a commentary on privilege as well as depression, lovelessness, tastefullness idk
i enjoyed this
reminded me of bad news and never mind by edward st. aubyn (i read them at 16, so they're not super fresh in my memory)

50nifty's review against another edition

Slow and pointless, characters are some of the most unlikeable I've ever come across in fiction. Would like to try again eventually
