speed running psychosis by reading 100+ pages in a single evening. this book never really gives you a resolution, just a vague sense of deja vu and injustice. the grim satisfaction of some characters’ fates is always overpowered by inevitable disgust. it’s a rough one. still, it’s fucking incredible. the imagery is so so vivid, like a fever dream. there is no other book like this.

I can’t tell if there’s less awful and strange things happening, or if I’ve become desensitized to how many awful and strange things happen to this damn family.
