3.5

although i didn’t necessarily fall in love with the main character, i can say that this is a good read for anyone grappling with late stage capitalism and defining their value by their career. it has a pleasant level of absurdity, and leichter does such a wonderful job of playing with language and literary devices in this novel. i just wish i cared more about the main character.
