I have recommended the Tale for the Time Being to pretty much anyone I've ever recommended a book to, and not once has someone not enjoyed it. So I'm totally stoked about this one - bought the hardcover the moment I saw it on the shelf. So far it is totally delightful.

Really adored this at first but it is feeling somewhat bloated. Some books are too short at 550 pages, some too long. I notice I'm skimming. I'll have to think about what exactly is not working well - but it feels jumbled and has some parts that feel extraneous and like they're jutting out from what ought to be a more fluid novel.

This book is so good at this point that I'm worried it cannot possibly keep it up through the second half. But it's fabulous. A real book for book lovers and writers. She's taking a risk with form, but it's working quite well.
