emotional reflective sad
Fun zombie take on the sad millennial meander novel. Would have worked even better for me if it had another half, less prose-poem, for contrast.

Not for me, but I can understand that it could be meaningful to some people. The writing is just not my style

the dialogs and the whole atmosphere of boundless and neverending grievous suffering reminded me of Waiting for Godot a bit

Almost no plot and the writing style is like I woke up from a fever dream and tried to write down what I dreamt. I was excited for this short read, but unfortunately not for me.

I don’t know if this book is pretentious, I feel like it might be, but I really liked it. Particularly the back half. Feel like the switch between passages forwarding the plot and more reflective sections might not be for everyone, but I found a lot to enjoy in both.
