This book was insufferable. Granted that’s clearly the point. The author is masterful at making it feel like the narrative itself is stuck in the depressing moldy marsh of the Hungarian village. I have to begrudgingly give it some stars because there is clearly artistry in the endless run-on sentences and purposely confusing dialogue.
But it also made me want to physically eat the pages so I didn’t have to read them anymore.
Legit awful read, least favorite of the year. Only thing I imagine that is worse is the 7& 1/2 hour art house film based on it.
