Avalon
by Nell Zink
This shallow world makes thinking seem deeper.
Amazing. A coming-of-age novel on the surface, but underneath is something medieval or fantastic. Really dives into the deep peasant mindset/feudal conditions of California. I'm going to be thinking about this one for a long, long time. Really all I can say against it is that John Dolan did it first, and without the warmth. Worth your time if you love shitty fantasy novels but struggle with contemporary literature, or if you love shitty lit novels but struggle with fantasy.
