It's time I admit to myself that I just don't like absurdist novels. I feel the same way about this as I did Camus' The Stranger. The insane bouts of violent misogynistic language compressed into this 100 page book didn't help my reading experience either.

Hm. I don't think this book is bad, it just doesn't align with novels I like to read. It was very confusing. The author does a great job of making you feel like you're in a fever dream. Unfortunately I really don't like novels that aim to confuse

So, not a bad book at all. But I rate stars based on enjoyment. And I really did not like reading this
