Dizzying beautiful language, very non traditional plot

Lispector reading me to filth on every page

Very unlikeable and unreliable narrator which I sometimes struggle with but it’s working for me here! Hard to tell if it’s intentional satire or if the author’s a nut, gotta do some Wikipedia digging. Mosquitos plot cool as hell, I love to read about weird bug hive minds

Noah rec and it’s reading me to filth

It is very EDC coded

Listening to audiobook — usually don’t like doing that bc I feel like I miss a lot but this book feels suited to zoning out from time to time (no shade it’s interesting I just find Ezra Klein kind of annoying)

Whew

She thicc

Gonna finish this!!

The end is approaching the start… excited to finish

I feel like I haven’t thought so hard in a year 💭💭💭 Ursula’s mind……

Finished trunk… shit got crazy in like literally the last 5 pages. It’s entirely possible that I’m the problem because I’m reading in wildly inconsistent spurts but the pacing in this book feels so unpredictable. I’m very indecisive about how much I’m liking it — lots of profound thoughts on moral crisis and yet I feel a distance from the characters… except for Patricia love her

Halfway thru and we’ve finally got a plot… Patricia is still my favorite

Patricia’s chapter was the best and worst of what this book has offered so far — so many endless descriptions of trees (I never knew there were so many ways to describe trees) and at the same time such a beautiful and carefully observant bird’s eye view of someone’s life and humanity. Ready to get to Trunk tho…….

I started this so long ago w an audiobook before I realized I can’t listen to audiobooks and finally got my hands on a print version to finish! Started from the beginning, Eve Ewing continues to be everything I wanna be
