A review by emilycm
Miss Subways by David Duchovny
5.0
Holy shit. I did not expect to be as gobsmacked as I was by this book. Yet, here I am. There is something about the profound way that Duchovny can bring such control but continuous magic and mystery to this narrative he paints of the old and the new, set in New York City.
I marked several instances where I was just like “what oh my god,” because where it dragged, it was rewarding in the end. It took completely a twist I didn’t expect, and I was so here for it, and taken by surprise in the direction he took.
He is a master, dare I say, at balancing a particular level of authentic and this poetic prose in his writing.
If you’re looking to get into Duchovny’s writing, please read this. I will be thinking about this for a while.
