The Long Take: Or a Way to Lose More Slowly
by Robin Robertson
Plot or Character Driven:
Plot
Loveable characters:
No
Diverse cast of characters:
No
Flaws of characters a main focus:
Yes
Robertson's use of form and language is awe inspiring.
But, I really struggled with the fact that almost all of the women in this book are suffering some kind of sexually transmitted disease that makes them scabby. The representation of women in this text was really off-putting for me.
