Victoria Levchenko’s Reviews > Spadework for a Palace > Status Update

Experimental and high-minded—and I hated the experience of reading it. The majority of the novel is a run-on sentence with a period 20+ pages into the future. It felt like the worst aspect of infinite scroll.

And fwiw, every lofty idea presented is the kind of “empty but Literary” bullshit I cannot tolerate. I’ll chalk it up to Hungarian/Slavic intellectual chauvinism, several decades out of fashion.
