A quick pandemic warning: I couldn't help but say "Ugh" when, very early in the novel, a certain virus is mentioned, but thankfully, it's only a small presence lurking in the background of the novel. The story takes place before things really get crazy, starting with the very first headlines and ending with everyone only just beginning to mask. So if you, like me, fear, loathe, scoff at, etc., the dreaded "pandemic novel," no worries, this isn't really one.
I did like how stylized everything in the novel was, from the repeated pomegranate imagery to the black hole drawings to the dictionary definitions at the start of each chapter. I just wish I liked the content inside the form more.
All that being said, it was a very easy and quick read, and it broke me out of my reading slump. Thanks, Etter!
