This book is full of gobbledygook like "How can blind unplan produce a string thick with desire to reveal its own fundament?" that is - trust me - deep and profound and moving in context, and no, not quite as insufferable as it seems.
Or maybe the opposite: surface profundity and brilliant language-play hides a vacuous core?
Is that the mystery? Either way, it's taking me a while to get through this. Good luck.

Words words words! The book's narrator is an insane librarian in the midst of a midlife crisis. Someone please hide her thesaurus.

Literally narrated by a librarian, I haven't decided yet if the obsession with words and references is brilliant or obnoxious, but leaning latter. Powering through for the so-far-so-good character development and sleuthing.
