Creation Lake by Rachel Kushner

This was a whole lot of much ado about nothing. How the hell did this get booker prize. I feel like I must be missing something because this felt like a college students half formed thoughts stolen from their first 6 months of lecture. There were so many pieces that had NO PURPOSE AT ALL like it pisses me off. The ending was so anticlimactic I can’t even discuss it. Except to say I am SO TIRED of authors not committing to an ending like say SOMETHING. fuck have Franck do it like actually put the gun in the child’s hands. 
This author had nothing new to say and the old things she said were convoluted, opaque, and lost in a dense forest of pointless characters and tangents. It was well written and funny but I will be forgetting I read this.
