What Belongs to You by Garth Greenwell

5.0

wow holy shit

a provocative and deeply melancholy examination of queer desire and its proximity to shame. i absolutely adored the setting: it captured the absurdities and severity of eastern europe so well; it couldn’t have been set anywhere else. also the use of language and translation to confuse and clarify was fucking magnificent !! and the prose goddamn !!

honestly too many good things i can say about this book just read it
