After Delores by Sarah Schulman
3.75
emotional mysterious reflective tense
Plot or Character Driven: A mix
Strong character development: Complicated
Loveable characters: No
Diverse cast of characters: Yes
Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

Bizarre and deeply chaotic, this is a surreal tale of heartbreak and deep personal mess. I have so many questions but it is still so compelling. Sarah Schulman's fiction continues to intrigue me. It also makes me more excited for her stuff that seems to be the more noir/detective type.  

Looking though the other reviews, I saw that some took note of how this relates or could have been meditations that led to Conflict is Not Abuse. That makes me want to read that even more and come back to some of these novels again to look at the interpersonal issues and violence.
