I’m not sure what I was expecting, but this was v much not the book for me. There were moments when I’d get really into the style of the writing, but something like pedophilia, incest, racism, or violence would take me out of it again. Not to mention all the times I needed to consult a family tree to get characters straight.

I’m sure this id a great book for someone who gets it. But I sure didn’t understand it at all. Big content warning in this one, for literally every category you can think of. The biggest mystery left for me is WHY everyone had to have the same name???

 this is a challenging read, as the pacing of the book switches from arduous torture to breakneck speed in the span of one chapter, and there is no central plot to anchor you down. if you want to analyze the text, what works for me is summarizing the key events of the chapter so i don't get mixed up because one chapter can cover 2 - 3 plot points or character arcs.

I had to read this for a class and I just hated it. The way he describes women is disgusting. The amount of incest and pedophilia made me want to throw up. it’s awful.
