Multiply/Divide: On the American Real and Surreal by Wendy S. Walters
4.0
This book came to me a little inexplicably, in a package sent by author Daniel Handler, months after I'd found the secret application to his vaguely described 'postal club' hidden on his web site, filled it out, mailed it with a stamp (and how often do I mail anything with a stamp?), and then forgotten about it completely.
The surprise and mystery of the whole thing worked really well with the book itself, which blends the real and the unreal in unexpected and rich and complicated ways. The experiences of being black, female, American, lonely, afraid, displaced... they're mixed and remixed and I'm closing the book feeling like I just had a really weird dream I can't quite remember.
