Sleep Has His House by Anna Kavan
3.0
3.5 ☆
read for uni — it's a modernist book, so naturally it's very abstract and difficult to grasp. i'm not even entirely sure i understood majority of it (which is the entire point, tbf). there's so many layers to this novel, i feel like i could spend an entire year analysing it. but for now, it was fine, i guess??
virginia woolf and anaïs nin fans are probably the only people i'd recommend this to lmao. it's such a specific type of novel, extremely ambiguous, it definitely won't appeal to the masses.
