this was written so well - the undulating between present and past tense in the last section was so cool and expertly done. the feeling of insomnia was truly conveyed! i dont know that i understood the characters or motivations or even like how things were happening but there was certainly a mood and it was interesting! the level of violence towards women was uncomfortable but gave me insight. wow!
