Unfortunately, I did not like this. It started strong, and LaValle is masterful at imagery. I kept reading hoping it would all come together, that there would be some deeper meaning or lesson, but it ultimately fell flat, with several loose threads and - in the few cases there was any - bizarre/unclear character development.
