A review by shadowsmoon
Ducks, Newburyport by Lucy Ellmann

5.0

Edit: I mean, you simply have to read this book. The stream of consciousness is unsettling yet insightful. It illuminated for me how my own stream of consciousness works and at times there seemed to be something missing - I guess the visual aspect of my own thoughts, but I believe Ellman did include these aspects (but I might be mistaken) the occasional noun appears and I wonder about that. In totality I am just absolutely in awe of this book and hope to return to it someday. Characterisation is beautiful.

I am going to have to write this in the morning as I’m a little bit post-book-finish at the moment. What a journey. For now, all I can say is that this was an absolute feat of literary genius
