The Folded Clock: A Diary by Heidi Julavits

3.0

Parts of this book are so bad (the random order of entries, the deliberate vagueness of non name-dropping name-dropping) and parts of it are so good (the actual writing!). And sometimes I can relate to Julavits completely and sometimes I think we could never ever be friends. She has some weird chosen affectations in both her writing and her personality that I just don't understand. She seems really dumb and really smart, really shallow and really deep. I kept reading because she's such a complex person and she kept surprising me.
