Status Updates From Eye of the Monkey: A Novel

My first DNF of 2026. Absolutely weird and just overall so confusing. Not at all what I thought the book would be based on the description. I had a hard time following who was actually talking in each chapter. Just not great

For those interested, I'm up to the part where the narrator offers the following: "The baby farted for an improbably long time, like when someone treads on a woman's skirt and the material starts loudly ripping."

Not sure how Toth should have felt, dropping such a gold nugget so early in the novel.

A great first chapter but since then it's been nothing but tedious
