oh boy. i originally took note of this as a TV show because it seemed similar to something I was working on, then I was assigned to read it for a class and. well first of all, very different from TV show. secondly hooo boy i love the non-linear narrative and all the different facets of art and all the different connections people have to it (it's a necessity, but it can consume you, joy, passion, work, distraction, etc.) and the ending felt... fitting. surprisingly i felt very little reading this specifically after pandemic lockdown, which i know a lot of readers did.
