I really liked parts of it. There were a lot of quotes and ideas i resonated with and parts of kafka that made me feel so comforted but at the end of the day there’s so many disgusting parts that detract from it. It’s written wonderfully and has so much potential but the misogyny and incest shit and dodgy age gaps and one dimensional women are hard to ignore.
