Oyeyemi is such a fantastic writer, but I don't know if I actually got the point of Mr. Fox. It may very well be that I wasn't in the headspace to read something particularly clever, but even then, I think Oyeyemi may have tried a little too hard to push for a meta narrative and I just… didn't get it. There were some fascinating stories woven into this novel, and I think it would have made for a far more engaging short stories collection than anything.

Vexing in the best and most satisying way possible. In love with everything I've read from Helen Oyeyemi.
