nadjatiktinsky's review against another edition

Fountain is one of my all-time favorite poets (she was the 2019 poet laureate of Texas!) so I was eager to read her debut novel. The plot of this book isn't anything you haven't read before, but that's beside the point. The craft is extraordinary, especially the detail-work. This is what Fountain does best, in her poetry as well as her prose: she takes something pedestrian and pays excruciating attention to it, pinning down an image and focusing in closer and closer until it twists away from her and transforms.
