The Sorrows of an American by Siri Hustvedt
challenging

slow-paced
5.0
Siri Hustvedt writes novels of staggering beauty and psychological depth, and very few people read them. All demand close attention, and The Sorrows of An American is particularly intricate: its protagonist is a psychoanalyst, and it is *brimming* with signs and symbols. Press on! Its pattern will become apparent.
If you haven't read about the writing of this book, don't: there's a reveal about its execution toward the end of the acknowledgements that actually took my breath away.
