A phenomenal novel, if not entirely enjoyable, it is a harrowing exploration of trauma through bigotry and intergenerational fascism can lead to prejudice and self-loathing.

Grizzly, horrifying, fucked up, and cynical, this is an upsetting read and I recommend extensive trigger warnings beyond what is listed at the start of the book. If you need a warning for anything at all, you’ll likely need it for Tell Me I’m Worthless. Sitting in the violence chaos and confusion of this book it feels at once too on the nose and too obscure, but marries the two into a biting dissection of hatred. There are lengthy sections of this book that are almost unreadable from either the difficulty to stomach or parse them, but I found every page enrapturing. Super cool book.
