yvkhan 's review for:

Mostly Hero by Anna Burns
3.0

Very readable but honestly quite mediocre, somewhat funny at times but never really progressed beyond that? Imo it was an allegory for cycles of abuse in families but honestly considering how Burns basically tells us the novella is about love towards the end I think our opinions probably align.

Still, apart from the use of some fun vocabulary and oblique references to post-structuralist humour of some sort, it doesn’t feel particularly uwu literary or meaningful. It’s enjoyable though.
