The Tenth Muse by Catherine Chung
4.0
When I first started reading this books, I felt like I was looking in on someone's life, creepily almost. I always felt a little uneasy reading it. This isn't to say it was a bad book; I gave it 4 stars, so I obviously think it was a great piece of literature. Perhaps I felt the unease because somehow everything Kathrine experienced is so universal, and because the author's writing was emotive and expressive. For example, I felt so uncomfortable by each exchange Kathrine had with Karl. Of course we learn in the end why.
It took me a month to finish this book. It was hard to get into it once I left it for a day or two. It's the kind of book that gets going with momentum. Some parts were heavier and harder to grasp, and it's tempting to try to reread section and try to fully understand them. But that doesn't help. Eventually I read 80% of this book in one sitting.
Now that it's over, I still feel uneasy, and a little heartbroken.
