I read the Spanish translation, in which the author herself collaborated (a rare thing, in my experience).
Analytical prose. Revealing meaning in the selective, yet precise description of the mundane.
A rhapsody of interweaving, intertextual voices and perspectives.
A gloomy view on humanity, particularly the late-stage capitalism ruins of American society.
Absorbing, auditive. Loved it.
