So far enjoying this poetic experimental short novel. A friend's debut. Can get it here.

Overlaid places transfuse: "Who brought the forest into the basement?"

Negative space affects pacing and emphasis, and it's used so many different ways here (somewhat reminded of a few Carole Maso novels).

One of the most genuinely strange books I've read.

"Let the ambiguous procession of events reveal their own ambiguousness."

"The guitar was human; the guitar taught me the secret of the guitar; the guitar learned me to play on the guitar. No music-master have I ever had but the guitar."

"What are you knotting there, my man?"
"The knot," was the brief reply, without looking up.
"So it seems; but what is it for?"
"For some one else to undo," muttered back the old man, plying his fingers harder than ever, the knot being now nearly completed.
