Gave a university elevator pitch presentation on this novella.

Unfortunately, this is quite possibly the worst book I have ever had the displeasure of reading. Anything meaningful or interesting I fear was lost in the translation of the novel from Danish. Simply, nothing happens; the format is atrocious and the story lacks conviction and any real direction. Shocking that this is considered a classic by some critics and held in such high esteem by none other than Jeff VanderMeer.
