I still have a hard time wrapping my head around whether I like this book or not, but it's definitely a read that had me thinking about it often. It was grappling in its difficult and visual language but it was also what made it hard to get through. The writing felt so rich but so dense at the same time, it still makes me wonder whether it was something I enjoyed or not. I think I'd need time to sit with it a bit more, but it was definitely an interesting read.
