A review by dnietoperafan
Exquisite Cadavers by Meena Kandasamy
3.0
Don’t get me wrong, I think Kandasamy is a fenomenal author, but this novel didn’t quite hit for me.
I related heavily to the Mixed Marriage chapter, and the prose is actually beautiful. Plus, Kandasamy’s writing process insight on the side of the pages was so fulfilling to read.
But if I was rating it like any other fiction novel, it doesn’t quite hit. As soon as it got interesting, as soon as it got me hooked, it ended. And I guess that’s how life is sometimes, but if you are writing fiction, I feel like there should be a clear plot to the novel.
So 3 stars for the beauty of the language used, but not for the story itself.
