emilypunbar 's review for:
The Seas
by Samantha Hunt
“Jude thinks he is too old for me. I think I could cut a strip of flesh from his upper arm and eat it.”
I’ve been trying to read The Seas since early last year — after I read The Pisces by Melissa Broder and desperately wanted to consume anything and everything like it. Broder had said that The Seas was a big inspiration for her own book, and a favorite of hers, and so my quest was born.
The Seas has certainly filled a The Pisces-sized hole in my literary heart. (It also made me wanna reread The Pisces ASAP!!) There’s little I could say that I think could actually do the prose justice. It’s bizarre, beautiful, and blue blue blue. The story itself is gripping, but the prose is what really made me weak in the knees. Precise and full and haunting and drab. Def a fave of the year so far, for me!
