one of my best friends, a deeply enigmatic middle-aged woman named Aura, emphatically recommended and lent me this book. in retrospect it is exactly the type of thing she would recommend. almost didn’t finish multiple times, powered thru 4 her. experiencing a lot of complex emotions rn; disgust, pity, tenderness feature prominently. i cannot recommend this book and i cannot give it a star rating. miranda july is a talented writer.

A great read. Totally absurd. Feels like diving into somebody else's mind and discovering a complete different universe - is this how others think and see the world? Weirdly relatable even though it shouldn't be to me.
