Omensetter's Luck by William H. Gass
4.0
This is not easy reading, so if you're looking to be entertained strictly on a surface level, look elsewhere. It's a densely packed piece of literature that shifts narrative style from chapter to chapter. I actually preferred the stream of conscious sections in the novel, because they read like poetry and I found myself reading certain line over when they struck me.
This is simultaneously a book of beauty and hatred. Sometimes I found myself in awe of the descriptions of nature or something like a forge on the page. I would later find myself shocked by the cruel, putrid rage presented at later moments in the book. I plan n giving this one another read one day . I think it would benefit from rereads.
I finished reading this earlier in the year but I've been thinking about it since.
