4.0

Very interesting read, but felt a little too fast for the deluge of thematic content ripping through every part of this book. It’s either incredibly packed without a moment of unnecessary detail, or a bit floaty from point to point, and I haven’t had enough time to sit with it and go back to figure out which it really is. 

Very Awad in many ways, but very unique in others. Disgustingly vile sections juxtaposed with sections that—as a pianist myself—made me feel extraordinarily validated. Breakneck blockbuster of a book.
