fast-paced

A psychedelic delirium of a novel that is a grotesque pastiche of human interactions. The writing is wonderfully dark, but it also feels so untethered from reality that I struggled to connect it with real-world meaning. It was really the unsatisfying ending though that let the whole thing down for me

damn that’s crazy
