This is a very original novel where no one except the protagonist has a name, for starters. Conversations and dialogue are all mashed together, so it’s hard to tell what’s real or imagined, but the inventive nature of the story somehow pulls you thro ...more

This book surprised me, because usually the picaresque style of storytelling only works on special occasions, but this was one of those occasions. I was immediately transported to my early 20s and all the wild nights, the bonkers encounters, the shor ...more

A short tome on why, in the face of suffering and injustice, one should never look away or mind their own business. Quiet, beautiful prose, an undercurrent of terror, and a subtle hope accompany the story and suffuse it throughout.

What an utterly compelling and wholly original novel! When I first heard the hype surrounding this book, it seemed superficial and vacuous like the type of novels that are consumed as if they were disposable commodities. Boy, am I glad I bought the b ...more
