The heist narrative didn’t land for me, and I didn’t pick up on any of the humor that others are mentioning, making me wonder if it’s really just the novelty of the setting and subject matter. If Unferth ever releases a collection of essays or, better yet, a novella entirely about Bwwouk, I’ll be there for it.

It was ok! I don't think managed to successfully find its balance between an ecological treatise and a subversion of the heist genre, it just kind of oscillated between the two without much cohesion.
The final section was especially messy. I love a nonlinear novel but the bouncing around took the air out of the preceeding sections.
The prose was often quite nice and I found the lead up to the heist itself to be quite gripping.

This book made me want to get up and do *something*. It also put me off chicken for a month. I love it.
