obsessed w this cover

😧

Each chapter seems to be a different motif all based in the same town. The writing is stylized and the sequences are dream like, I’ll have to read more to see the themes

I think this book only makes sense to me as an allegory of the grotesque underneath southern Ontario life

What I found to be interesting/unique prose at first I am now finding tiresome and overwrought. Struggling to finish but the stories themselves within this novella are quite good overall. Might push off finishing until January though because I’d like to read things I’m really enjoying for the end of the year.
