In some ways, this feels like a novella-length poem. Really thematically and metaphorically strong. It’s definitely a very strange and liminal read; I desperately want to talk to someone about it.

I saw a review that suggested the crow might be saying what3words. Although it doesn’t quite work, it plausibly could! I think that’s cool. I really do not understand the crow and I would like to.

I’m not sure what I expected from this book? I definitely found it interesting, and certain passages were extremely moving, but I had a hard time getting through it because the stuff in between was kind of boring? It felt like a set of vignettes but they were just too disjointed for me to really understand them.
