afton_gray 's review for:

A Children's Bible by Lydia Millet

---

If you work very, very hard as a reader, you might find this to be a totally brilliant use of “fable.” If not, you’ll likely find it enticing at first and then a lazy version of Station Eleven meets The Girl Who Owned a City. I really want to love it and will need to keep puzzling and uncovering (or inventing?) connections and allegories to get there.
