I’m not sure quite what to make of this book. It felt like some of the more experimental stuff I read in college, where I often realized there were layers below what I was reading that I was completely missing.
There’s a rhythm to the word choices, lots of assonance and alliteration, bits of rhyme and wordplay that felt inventive. The language was also very visceral and occasionally really distributing.
I wanted more clarity though, and more tied up ends. I couldn’t quite tell in a lot of places if we were working metaphorically or literally, which was maybe the point, but also frustrating. In the end I just didn’t get it, but at least it was short?
