I only read this novel six months ago but I am struggling to remember why I liked it at the time. This review did help but it does make me think, while a great book, perhaps it is not one of the classics. Can you add on an extra bit in a different link for the ending and why you liked it?
Thank you for your insightful, thoughtful review. The book seems unique, in the way it's written. The subject matter is indeed something necessary to explore. Who hasn't felt and wanted nothing at some point in their life? I imagine when you were recovering from your concussion (I hope you're better now), your body must have been fighting for your healing and protecting you from feeling. I feel that often when my inflammation flares up.
I have a copy here! It's just waiting for me to finish some other books first. I read the first story (article?) ahead though and she tells the story in an fun way. Very different than play it as it lays--she seems to pick tone and voice and style really deliberately to suit the work
