Character
I appreciate this fragmentary, loosely-plotted work and its melancholic tone and gloomy humor. Lizzy contains multitudes in her contradictory impulses to care for some people and shy away from others as well as the way she’s both hopeful and fatalistic.
The fragmentary style lends itself to quick reading but the work deserves slow, reflective reading. I see myself returning to this book as I have with her previous novel, Department of Speculation, which I also loved.
I'm somewhat reminded in tone, style, and concerns, of Mary Robison's novel One D.O.A. One on the Way.
