So far I’m not getting the sense of loss that critics say is so well channeled by this book.
In fact it’s possibly a good example of the bad state of literary fiction today?! Just an endless narrative of feelings yet done at what I call “literary distance.” What am I missing? Prove me wrong!

So far it’s for reading in the pooper. I can only take small snatches of it. Apparently it’s to be read in one or a few sittings, lol.
Torn between seeing it as a prose poem and over rated random words.
Hmmm.
