It’s a unique type of book, written completely in dialogue between two characters: an unstable math genius and her psychiatrist/therapist (idk the correct term) at a mental hospital she checks herself into.
Did I fully understand everything they(she) talked about? No probably not. But I do actually think I got most of it and McCarthy did a good job of making, the math stuff especially, fairly accessible. Inchresting

This is a very well written account from two first person narrators. It takes these themes very seriously and does not use them for shock.gmjohnson's review
