honestly: this was a great book. the stark unfeeling language, the amoral protagonist, the way things just sort of occur... it's a real proto-Ferrante, that's for sure
my only shame: the last one of these ND golden books i read was the first time i encountered Helen DeWitt, so I'm always grading these on a curve, a harmful one. i wish i could have let myself enjoy it more
