essay #3 is a simple one about thinking back to what shaped your own way of narrating your life. simple and concise.

the tldr of my rant is that this schizophrenic, pov-shifting narration style does not read like an intentional and almost intimate window into the narrators psyche the way they may have intended - it reads like a poorly written, poorly thought out series of ramblings. the core lack of motivation, of character depth, and of general reasoning makes this the worst book i’ve voluntarily read thus far.

damn my review disappeared but heavily enjoying this prose. makes you think but isn’t needlessly complicated or esoteric in how it arrives at a conclusion. it’s pretty insightful, with some great one liners and some witty remarks so far.

i’m unsure if this is a cohesive novel or a collection of short stories but i’m a huge fan rn.

this may actually be the most interested i’ve read in a book in a fat minute. super big fan of the prose - makes you think but doesn’t feel needlessly complicated or esoteric. also a bunch of very insightful and witty comments in the first “chapter”. i’m unsure if this is a collection of short stories or a complete novel, but 18% in i’m a huge fan.
