A boy records the fables of his youth growing up in a family of werewolves. This is a weird little book which is intentionally grimy and grim, deromanticizing werewolves while also using them to explore intersections of culture and class. Enjoyable? not especially--I miss a certain level of idealization, and think it's possible to unpretty werewolves while maintaining some mystique (honestly, this is what the trope is all about: testing the limits of our fear/attraction to the dehumanized, messy, morbid, violent). But in premise, promising; even aspects like the dual narration, which frequently disrupts the flow, work in retrospect, adding self-presentation/-conceptualization to the conversation about culture and Otherness. This book has a lot of potential, but its plot is unremarkable and its tone missed the mark for me.
