This is the second Hernan Diaz I’ve read, and they both Do A Thing, narrative-wise. Trust was more effective, but this still fundamentally worked. 

A classic American allegory epic, it’s short and yet at the same time I fell asleep reading it twice. Liked it overall though! 

Reading this three months after reading East of Eden was a trip. The American West, man! It contains multitudes!

Book of pure suffering but feelings on it improved when I reread the prelude after finishing it
