Paradise Rot by Jenny Hval

Eh.. kinda boring, kinda creepy, would not repeat
---- coming aback after some time away form the book
It's a good one. great? not so much.
It dives into interesting topics of self-discovery, being overly perceptive of life, and human actions. I think it exposes us as natural human being that do extremely normal (but disgusting according to society) things. This refers to the first half of the book.
The second half is a bit kuku. I'm not sure what exactly the point was. Feminism? Obsessiveness? Mental health discovery? or maybe just write for the 'wtf' effect.
The writing style very much reminded me of Ottessa Moshfegh writing in Eileen, the only difference being that Eileen didn'tget laid . (lmao, spoilers for s different book haha).
