challenging emotional mysterious reflective slow-paced

Sensual and philosophical and deep. Modernist and questioning the most penetrating questions about our innermost minds and dialogues and sociopolitical scripts. Will write a longer review later but wanted to post this for now

I would never have picked this up on my own, but it was chosen for my book club, so I dragged myself through it.

I've read books before where I hated every single character but still liked the book. This is not one of them. I hate the characters. I hate the writing style. I hate the story. I hate that the author seemingly never held a conversation with a woman, because they are all so spectacularly one-note they at best seem like caricatures.

The only reason this isn't a 1 star ratibg is because of the bizarre and delightfully unexpected inclusion of a trans dog.
