5.0

I read the Spanish translation, in which the author herself collaborated (a rare thing, in my experience).

Analytical prose. Revealing meaning in the selective, yet precise description of the mundane. 

A rhapsody of interweaving, intertextual voices and perspectives. 

A gloomy view on humanity, particularly the late-stage capitalism ruins of American society.

Absorbing, auditive. Loved it.
