Everything Under by Daisy Johnson

2.0

I don't know what happened between [b:Fen|26210520|Fen|Daisy Johnson|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1469103124l/26210520._SX50_.jpg|46190777] and this, Johnson's first novel, but the genre shift from interlocking short stories to a longform narrative didn't give me a lot of joy. The whole of the novel feels like a fugue - yet while some turn this to their advantage, it's not as clear that there was enough readerly compulsion to drive forward the exhumation of everything under. Disappointing, ultimately.
