There Is No Year by Blake Butler
3.0
This book reads like an author who is trying to be David Lynch. Keyword TRYING. There is a mysterious box in a mysterious closet in a mysterious house, dimensions in dreams in darkness, unexplained phenomena.. but it just fails to impress. The story doesn't actually go anywhere, the characters are very predictable, and the format is weird simply for weirds sake.
The book wasn't boring, and it was a very quick read, but honestly it just felt like an attempt to take all the "creative" and "weird" qualities of a good book and cram them together unsuccessfully.
