every mention of kafka listening to prince is meant to piss me off personally I think

a decent magical realism road trip romp sandwiched between some of the most unbearable fake deep horrifying garbage I've ever encountered in fiction

*does absolutely nothing to escape fate past running away and barely has any sense of anguish and won't shut the fuck up about "are you my sister are you my mommy can we fuck oh shit five pages since talking about my schlong* wow oh my god I guess fate is inescapable that's wild

it is bugging me to give this such a low score when I've given higher ratings to works I find much worse in terms of prose/etc but seeing skill squandered is blindingly painful

alot of it was beautiful but some parts were greatly disturbing. i've only been acquainted to Freud's work for a year and so I'm still awfully uncomfortable with it. it didn't sit with me but the depictions had its sated goals so I'll respect the author for writing it in its greatly dystopian way.
